THANK YOU! I am so excited to have won the Praseodymium Zone. A huge thank you to all the students, the teachers, the I’m a Scientist team, and the other scientists Charli, Oliver, Heather and Dre. Most of all though, thank you to the students. I miss logging in every morning, eager to see what new questions you asked me. I enjoyed answering every question. I was amazed at the huge range of questions that you asked. Some of the questions were very hard and I had to think a long time before answering them. Some of the questions were about things I didn’t know much about and I enjoyed spending my evenings looking things up. I learnt so many new things! Most of all, I liked talking about volcanoes. I love my job, getting to study volcanoes is good fun and I hope you enjoyed learning some more about them. It was really great to chat … Continue reading →

The students have spoken. The votes have been double counted… Big congratulations to the Praseodymium Zone winner: Rebecca Williams Hard luck to Charlotte but a huge thank you to everyone who took part. You were all brilliant. Students, don’t forget to tell us what you think about science now you’ve taken part. Log in to your profile, and fill in the 4 questions in the pink box on the right hand side, to be in with a chance to win a £20 WH Smith voucher.

We’ve counted, checked and rechecked the votes and now reveal it’s game over for… Oliver George This leaves just “geology geek, runner” Becky and “nerdy, enthusiastic, traveller” Charli to fight it out for the £500 prize tomorrow. Who would you like to see win tomorrow’s final battle? VOTE NOW! We’re also opening your live chat tomorrow between 12pm – 3pm. Drop in to chat more to the scientists or say hello before the end of the event!

We’ve counted the votes and you’ve now evicted… Heather Price The two scientists left standing after tomorrow’s eviction will battle it out in Friday’s final. Who do YOU want to see in the final? VOTE for your favourite! Students, has taking part changed your view of science and scientists? When you next log in and visit your profile, you’ll see a pink box with 4 questions on the right. Fill in the questionnaire to be in with a chance to win a £20 WH Smith voucher. We hope you’ll spend it all on books and essential school equipment, but we understand how difficult it will be to pass the pick’n’mix section..

The first scientist you’ve evicted is… Andrea Cristini One scientist will be evicted every day this week, and you get a new vote each day. Make sure to VOTE to keep your favourite in the competition. A student in each zone will win a £20 WH Smith voucher for asking great questions (questions that aren’t about One Direction). And remember, you can comment on questions the scientists answer. Do you think the scientist is right? Do you disagree with them? Tell them!

We’re half way through the June round of I’m a Scientist, Get me out of here, and it’s time to shake things up a little… Let’s get some scientists out of here! Starting on Tuesday, we’ll evict one scientist every day until just two remain on Friday to battle it out for the title of Praseodymium Zone Winner! Here’s how the evictions work… Students, you vote for your favourite scientist! You get one vote for each round of the competition. Round 1 Now until 3pm on Tuesday 24th June. The first scientist will be evicted at 3pm on Tuesday! Round 2
