The John Maddox Prize for Standing up for Science is awarded to an individual for any kind of public activity in any of the areas listed below: 1. Addressing misleading information about the scientific issue (including social science and medicine). 2. Bringing sound evidence to bear in a public or policy debate. 3. Helping people to make sense of a complex scientific issue.
An additional prize is awarded to an individual who in the opinion of the judges is at an early stage of their career. If the nominator thinks the nominated individual is at an early stage in their career then he is to highlight this on the nomination form as they will be eligible for the additional prize.
As a nominator, one should normally be an individual who is familiar with the work of the candidate but self-nomination will be considered in exceptional circumstances.
Staff, trustees, and directors of the supporting organizations and previous winners and previous or current members of the judging panel and their direct relations are not eligible for nomination for the prize, though they may nominate. It is open to anyone else, including those commended or nominated in previous years and people who have published with or worked with either organization as contributors, advisers or in other collaborations.
