Investigating science: are you a journalist with a story to tell?

The Association of British Science Writers is seeking bids for its first Investigative Science Journalism Fellowship

Some of the world's most significant news strands, from climate change to Ebola, are about science. So are many of its most fascinating stories, about landing a space probe on a comet or uncovering the origins of the human race. At the same time, it is impossible to understand the bulk gathering of electronic intelligence, or the Nepalese earthquake, without some awareness of the science and technology that underlie them.

Because Britain is home to many fine science journalists, these stories are often told very well in the UK media. But there is a problem, revealed most clearly in the entries for the Association of British Science Writers' (ABSW) annual awards.
