Seed is running an essay contest with a $2,500 prize, so if you like science, and think you write well, take a whack at this question:
What does it mean to be scientifically literate in the 21st century?
How do we measure the scientific literacy of a society? How do we boost it? What is the value of this literacy? Who is responsible for fostering it?
They're looking for the best essay of 1,200 or fewer words, and are offering a $1,000 second prize as well. The winning entries will be published in Seed, which is a nice bonus.
