I'm a Scientist - call for scientists!

I'm a Scientist is an award-winning science enrichment project, funded by the Wellcome Trust, where school students talk to real scientists online. I'm a Scientist is looking for scientists to sign up for their next event which takes place on 13-24 June 2011.

Half of the zones will be general - with a mixture of scientists from all areas of science. Half of the zones will be themed - with scientists whose work has something in common (e.g. in the past we have had a Brain Zone, a Cancer Research Zone, a Stem Cells zone...).

This is the shortlist of topics for themed zones, based on suggestions from teachers.
