Help!

I love science, I absolutely do. I plan on spending the rest of my life trying to persuade other people to love science. But I write this blog as a distraction from science, as a way to clear my head. And so I don't normally bring science into it, other than maybe a quick photo of the day now and then. 

But I break my rule, just this once, today.

 I depart from my "normal" blogging and ask you a favour. I'm currently Editor-in-Chief of a student run science magazine, which you can read here. We print around 6000 copies a year, which are available for free, all around Aberdeen and sometimes further afield. 

We provide unrivalled opportunities for students to get into science writing, into science communication (I definitely have my position to thank for my last job and my future post-grad). However, we are completely self funded, relying mainly on selling advertising space and sponsorship.

We're currently in the finals of a competition run by RBS, which could mean we win £5000. 

£5000 will fund the magazine for a full year. But we only win £5000 if we have the most views on our video, after that it goes down and down and down... So, after much more waffle than I intended, I get to my point. 

Please watch the video above, and if you can, share it! Both my team and I will be forever appreciative.
