      £500. I would go to the school where the most intereseting questions came from and ask them wht they wanted to spend it on (it would have to be science communication though). Say a schol visit by a famous scientist, a visit to a science festival, maybe see a science TV program being made, some science books or DVD’s. Basically you decide!

      Hello, this is on my profile. We will get £500 that we have to spend on communicating our work. I want to split the money between communicating broad science with the general public and also being able to go to a conference to present my work to other scientists.

      If you read my profile page under “What I would do with the money” you will get more details. Go and have a look – I think it is cool.

      But I am planning two or three trips out to schools and festivals over the summer that I am going to do anyway but will cost me a LOT of money to set up 🙁

      It would be nice to set up something good for the public and young people without worrying too much about the budget!
