The BioCraft Competition will open to entries during Biology Week 2024, from 7-11 October, and is open to all. Create a biology-inspired 3D artwork from recycled, or other, materials and send us a photo to enter.
Details of how to take part will be posted here in September.
Choosing our BioCraft winners 
A judging panel of RSB staff will decide on a winner and runner up for both the individual category and group entry category.
The BioCraft Competition winners in each category will receive a prize for their creation.
Entries will be judged on: the variety of materials used
the variety of creative skills used
the aesthetic quality of the piece
the originality of the piece 
how well the piece captures the biological basis of the subject matter Inspiration 
From the very big to the very small: BioCraft entries can take inspiration from the smallest parts of the natural world that only a microscope can see: think cell structures, bacterial colonies and microscopic organisms.
Entries could instead feature environments or ecosystems. Art could be based around great savannahs, wide-open plains, the deep oceans or immense rainforests and the huge range of diversity contained within them.
Hands-on science: Lab or field equipment could be the focus of your artwork, with fascinating tools and apparatus being used by scientists to provide ways to make wonderful discoveries.
Scientific concepts: Your art could help explain a biological concept, theory or area of biology that particularly interests you.
Art can be a great way to visualise something that may seem complex or difficult to understand.
Contact 
Please email if you have any queries about the competition.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What do you imagine when you're asked what a scientist looks like? Are you picturing lab coats, goggles, and conical flasks? How about the person? Are they a White man with grey hair, who resembles Albert Einstein?

If that's who you pictured - you aren't alone. But it's something that we want to change.

' Smashing Stereotypes' is a collection of over 40 stories from individuals and teams that challenge long-standing stereotypes, with the aim of encouraging more young people, from all backgrounds, to see themselves as scientists.

With profiles of chefs, product designers, and fitness professionals, ' Smashing Stereotypes ' showcases how science is for everyone: whatever your interests, background, or career path.

Feeling inspired? Why not share your own #SmashingStereotypes story with us on Twitter, Instagram, and other social media channels by using the official hashtag.

Check out the Smashing Stereotypes films

Our series of short films showcase a selection of our Smashing Stereotypes profiles and their stories - revealing why they've chosen a career in STEM, how they've followed their passions, and the stereotypes they've 'smashed' along the way...

Apprenticeships are structured training programmes which give you a chance to gain a qualification while you work and earn money. Apprenticeships enable you to become a fully competent scientist by building up your skills and experience in the working world alongside experienced staff.

The combination of a qualification and work experience an apprenticeship provides will help you stand out to future employers and support your long-term career. Whichever route you choose to take an apprenticeship can help you to advance in your career with many apprentices going on to senior roles within their companies.

There is a wide, diverse range of apprenticeship types across the UK, with a range of learning options and time commitments to suit you. With levels ranging from 2 (equivalent of GCSE) through to Higher apprenticeships at level 7 (Masters Degree) there are options for all abilities and progression.

Apprenticeships have equivalent educational levels:

Click here to find out about the RSB's Apprentice of the Year Award, which is now open for applications. The award is open to anyone completing an apprenticeship in the biosciences. You can also nominate an outstanding apprentice in your team.

Apprenticeships can be found by searching the internet for areas which interest you. However not all apprenticeships are advertised, so it is important to be proactive in your search and talk to local colleges, universities and companies about opportunities. A few examples of useful websites for finding Apprenticeships in the Biosciences can be found below:

The Science Council are committed to raising the profile of apprenticeships and have mapped a series of apprenticeships to the professional registers Registered Scientist (RSci) and Registered Science Technician (RSciTech). They look to work with members and trailblazer groups to promote professional registrations where there is the possibility of alignment, allowing apprentices to be eligible to apply. For full detail on science council mapped apprenticeships, click here.

Professional registration supports your career by emphasising your commitment to learning and training, whilst allowing opportunities to engage with others in the profession. Find out more about professional registration here.

Click here to read the Science Council's Apprenticeship blog posts.

T- levels are new courses which follow GCSEs and are equivalent to 3 A levels. They are part of a comprehensive reform of technical education, purposefully created to address identified skills gaps in key sectors. T-Levels deliver the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to perform successfully in the sector.

T-Levels establish clear employment pathways into the science sector and provide 20% on the job experience. For more information visit www.tlevels.gov.uk

The Young Apprentice Ambassador Network (YAAN) is a national network of current and past apprentices who want to share their apprenticeship story to inspire others. Click here to find out more.

World Skills UK is a charity working in partnership with employers, education and governments to help raise training standards and improve young people's technical and soft skills. Visit their website to access careers advice and skills development hub.

Take part in The Oxford Scientist Schools Competition 2024!

We are excited to announce the details of the 2024 edition of The Oxford Scientist Schools Competition. Please read each section below and the FAQ carefully as there are new rules and procedures for 2024.

Update for 2024: In response to an ever-evolving landscape with generative AI tools, such as Chat GPT, we have reworked our marking procedures to maintain fairness and rigour. Please note that as of 2024, the essay must be submitted by your UK school teacher. Link to join Teacher Mailing list to be notified upon future competitions.

Students may choose from ONE of the following themes:
"Evolution: anything and everything from Survival to Free Will"
OR

"Data and humans in the digital age"
Guidelines for Submissions

Eligibility: Open to students in Year 10 to Year 13 (or equivalent*) attending a UK school, college, or sixth form (School must be physically addressed in the UK)

Titles: Students should select one of the themes and then research and choose a specific area or topic to discuss in their essay.

Essay Requirements: Essays must be the student's original work, independently written without any form of plagiarism, including the use of pre-written texts or artificial intelligence-generated content. Articles should be relevant to the chosen theme and demonstrate originality, quality of analysis, and engagement with the topic.

Word Limit: Maximum of 700 words. No bibliography is required.

Submission Process: Please coordinate with your school teacher to submit your essay. Teachers can find the submission portal here.

Deadline: Submissions must be received by Midnight, Wednesday 10th July, 2024.

Click here for Teacher Submission Portal.

All essays must be submitted by teachers on behalf of their students at school. If you have alternative schooling or mitigating circumstances please see the FAQ or email [email protected].

Additional Information: Both themes will be marked equally and students are encouraged to have the freedom to explore any relevant ideas ranging from present-day ideas and developments, computation and AI to historic ideas, and philosophical concepts. We are really interested to hear your original ideas, but please make sure that they are relevant to the theme! Articles will be judged by our panel of experts. Please take note that your submissions will be assessed on relevance to the question, quality of scientific analysis, originality, writing style and grammar, interest to a general audience, and factual accuracy. You should try to write at a level that would be simple enough for someone who has an interest in science but isn't an expert on the topic you are writing about.
Awards & Opportunities

Publication: Winning articles will be featured in the Oxford Scientist magazine and on our website, showcasing your work to a broad audience.

Feedback Session with Competition Officials: Winners and runners-up will be invited to an exclusive feedback session with competition organizers. This is a unique chance to gain insights and improve your scientific communication skills.

Supercurricular: This competition offers a fantastic opportunity to explore scientific topics beyond your school curriculum, and it's a standout addition to university applications. We encourage entries from all students, regardless of previous experience in science writing.

Opportunities for Finalists: Articles from competitors who reach the final round may also be considered for publication by our affiliated partners, giving even non-winners a platform to share their innovative ideas.

This competition is rigorously marked by the Oxford Scientist and by senior judges. Recently, in the 2023 Competition judged by a distinguished panel of senior judges, including Nobel Prize-winning physician scientist Sir Peter Ratcliffe, Environmental Researcher Dr Anna Murgatroyd, Senior Researcher in Translational Proteomics Dr Darragh O'Brien and Postdoctoral Researcher Dr Hannah Jones. The competition is run by the Oxford Scientist team and led by Franziska Guenther and Gavin Man.

Examples of winning essays from previous competitions can be found . We strongly recommend that you read our FAQs before you start writing your article. If you have any further questions about the competition, please email [email protected].
