A message from Bill Bryson

As the deadline for entries into this year's Bill Bryson Prize approaches, Bill talks about what being involved in the science communication competition that bears his name means to him

In 2006, prolific author and science communicator Bill Bryson teamed up with the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) to launch the Bill Bryson prize, a competition for creative young science communicators. Each year entrants aged 5-18 send in science-based videos, songs, sculptures, cartoons, articles, podcasts, even plays on a given theme.

With the deadline for entries into this year’s competition fast approaching, Bill talks about what being involved in the prize means to him.
