People’s Choice Award for the Access to Understanding
science-writing competition! This award gives you – the public – the
opportunity to read our shortlisted entries and have your say.
Our entrants rose to the difficult challenge of writing plain
English summaries of research articles (all available from Europe PMC), which
cover fascinating cutting-edge science including combining drug therapies to
treat cancer, brain scanning to better understand specific function, a new way
to assess effectiveness of arthritis treatments, and an analysis of malaria
resistance around the world. The People’s Choice award gives a voice to those
for whom the summaries have been written and allows us to reward the best.
