Science Press Secretary: The "UMA Foundation" introduces a new
position
The press department of the "UMA Foundation"
welcomes anyone who is interested in science, anyone who works in science and
anyone who simply wishes to check out our news line! One of the Fund’s main aims is to promote the
work of young Russian scientists around the world. We’re proud to announce the
introduction of a new position – the science press secretary, which is held by
Tatiana Gneteeva (Gneteeva2013@gmail.com).
“Supporting the publication of research carried out by
Russian scientists and publicizing their achievements in the mass media with
the aim of raising the standing of Russian scientists abroad and promoting
science to young people. I believe the new position of science press secretary
will make a valuable contribution to the promotion of Russian science,” said A.
Chapman, director of the "UMA Foundation".
The new post was created in response to the growing
demand for effective communication between scientists, serious scientific
journals and the popular mass media. The science press secretary will act as a
link between scientific magazines by working closely with editors, scientists
and popular science journalists in Russia and beyond to promote and popularize
the research and discoveries of young Russian scientists around the world. The
responsibilities of the science press secretary include:
Ø
Interacting with the press
secretaries of popular as well as specialist scientific magazines in Russia and
abroad, supporting young scientists and researchers in scientific institutes and helping to get
scientific works published in the
scientific media, and raising the prestige of Russian science in the process;
Ø
Quality control of scientific
publications, correction of articles in accordance with the magazine’s house
style, consultative work;
Ø Cross-light
of articles in the press and mailing to relevant scientists to raise the amount
of citations for Russian scientists.
“In Russia there is a severe shortage of young
scientists with a biomedical education who are able to turn the material
published in the complex scientific articles into material that may be
interesting and comprehensible for the general public. There are even fewer
people, who can interact professionally with the editors of reputable
scientific journals, popular press and mass media, in Russia and abroad, and
also to interact with laboratories and clinical scientists. Many respectable
science journals are concerned about the newsworthiness and popularity of the
papers they publish. The articles they
publish should not only adhere to the highest standards, they should also
appeal to a wide readership and provoke debate in other scientific publications
and the popular mass media. Many American and European universities have
professional press departments tasked with popularizing research and boosting
their ratings. Tatiana Gneteeva, the newly appointed the "UMA
Foundation" science press secretary, has a medical education as well as
experience with science projects and promoting scientific articles, which she
gained during the two years she spent on our courses for young
scientists," says Alexander Zhavoronkov, the adjunct professor of Moscow
Institute of Physics and Technology, and head of the laboratory of regenerative
medicine at the D. Rogachev Centre of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and
Immunology.

About “UMA”
Foundation (www.funduma.ru)
The “UMA” Foundation is one of the leading non-profit
organizations in Russia that supports young scientists and promotes scientific
research. It was set up to revitalize Russian science and to encourage renewed
enthusiasm and passion for science and innovation – values that are sometimes
lacking in the younger generation. The foundation is governed by leading
academics, heads of universities and prominent business people. Among its many
other activities, the organization supports the “First Open Institute
for Regenerative Medicine for Young Scientists”, a rapidly growing volunteer
initiative that was set up by expatriate scientists as a means of providing
hundreds of young scientists with weekly lectures by leading international
thinkers as well as promoting goal-oriented scientific collaboration.
