Improving gender imbalance at The Conversation

Could your research be the next big thing on
The Conversation?

The Conversation is hoping to improve a gender imbalance in the authors of their stories. They recently reported that less than 30% of pitches for their Science and Technology section came from women.

The Conversation is a great way for academics to share interesting developments in their work. It also encourages academics to break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand, plain English. These are vital skills for being able to communicate complicated research and it helps your research to gain a wider audience. Researchers, academics and PhD candidates are all welcome to pitch ideas.

If you have a story idea that you'd like to submit make sure to head to The Conversation and have a go at pitching an idea.
