It is also a great chance to talk to other scientists and engineers from the UK and get a wider perspective on cutting edge research from across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Phil Newton, University of Reading Research Dean for environment, said: \u201cCommunicating your work to people outside your field is a critical skill for all researchers, and is becoming more important. This is a wonderful opportunity to test your communication skills and put your research in front of some of the most influential policymakers and scientists in the land.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>For more details on how to apply for the 2019 event, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stemforbritain.org.uk\/\">stemforbritain.org.uk<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early-career and student research scientists, engineers, technologists and mathematicians have until 3 December to apply for STEM for Britain 2019.
