Shark Tank: Science Media Edition will debut on Tuesday evening, April 21 featuring a panel of five editors, called "sharks," who consider pitches from five science enthusiasts, communicators, and researchers. The pitchers bring the story ideas. The sharks bring the acumen to constructively question each story, and the clout to get them published, if they pass muster. Let’s see if the sharks nibble or devour the story ideas.


Do you have an idea for a science or technology story that you think should be in the news? Enter your story idea in the Cambridge Science Festival’s Shark Tank: Science Media Edition and you may be chosen to pitch the idea to the sharks/editors in front of a live festival audience!


Your pitch should be:
Short and sweet (under 15 minutes)
On a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math topic
Of interest to the public
Be interesting!


To enter, tell us about your story idea and how your pitch is going to wow the sharks on the form at the link to the left. Deadline is April 6th!


The Sharks:

Marc Abrahams | Annals of Improbable Research
