MRC talks episode 10: Max Perutz and the art of writing by The MRC published on 2017-06-13T14:53:15Z In this episode we bring you a special feature about the godfather of molecular biology, Max Perutz, and why we named a science writing competition in his honour. To celebrate Max’s passion and skill at making science understandable, in 1998 the MRC launched a science writing competition in his honour. Since then, thousands of early career researchers have followed in Max’s footsteps by entering the Max Perutz Science Writing Award. Listen to the 2016 award-winning article and hear an interview with the winner, PhD student Liza Selley from the MRC-PHE Centre for Environment and Health at Imperial College London. The competition is open to MRC-funded PhD students and closes at 5pm on Tuesday 4 July 2017.
