Fiction Open

We are looking for short stories exploring the interaction of science with society, the impact of science on the everyday, and the lives of scientists. We have no preference for setting but would like the narrative to be literary in nature. Additionally, we are looking for works of historical or biographical fiction exploring important events in science or the lives of important scientists. Again, we are particularly interested in scientists whose work has been historically ignored or marginalised or scientists who belong to groups that are currently underrepresented in science in the UK.
