I’m stuck in a boarding gate waiting for a delayed flight back which meant I missed this. I’m so happy and yet so gutted I couldn’t be there. The emotional overload has brought wee tear to my eye. Doubly so because the shortlist was made up of so many magazines I admire.

And the winner for the Editor of the Year - Specialist award is Daniel Bennett @BennettDan @sciencefocus #BSMEAwards2023

@vero_greenwood Hi - just trying to find a good way to get in touch (to see if you'd be interested in a commission from BBC Science Focus). Let me know where to email!?

[Daniel Bennett @BennettDan]

SF is growing again. Come work with a brilliant team in an amazing city.

Very cool (to me anyway) to see @sciencefocus mentioned in Press Gazette. We're now the second biggest digital mag in the country, just behind The Economist. Our combined ABC is now 132k (!) https://t.co/Oib6lHTGmW

@DiggedyDan OK, double bummer now. I'll have to give you a shout when I'm next in London. (I can tell you where I was!)

There are 21 awards this year, including some exciting 🆕 categories.

Thank you to all who entered, and congratulations to those on the shortlist 👏

[Daniel Bennett @BennettDan]

OK, so clearly I only come on here to brag... but after coming out of a COVID haze, I was pretty excited to see @pressgazette reporting on @sciencefocus's digi circulation climbing 131% (17,686 to 40,892) That takes our combined abc to just over 70k now https://t.co/GYR5h3uhO2

In our next session we discussed radio and podcasts w/ @GarethM, longstanding presenter of @digitalplanet+ top prof on the @imperialcollege #SciComm masters. Gareth told us how awesome podcasts can be (intimate, immediate, personal, portable) + we did some LIVE podcast editing!

[Dr Jess Wade liked it here once @jesswade]

We learned about the wonderful world of science writing with the award-winning editor of @sciencefocus, @BennettDan. Dan emphasised the need to consider your audience, think carefully about your unique pitch/take on a story and just how important it is to build a web presence.

[BSME @bsmeinfo]

A huge congratulations to our first winner of the night at the #BSMETalentAwards2022 is @mantis_shrimp, @sciencefocus, for Best Subbing/Production Team.

@JannaLevin Hey Janna, just wanted to flag that I've sent you an email re: a potential interview. Let me know if it sounds feasible.

Thanks,

One of the first ideas that hooked me on science is that telescopes are basically time machines. Here's @AstroKatie explaining that far better than I ever could...

@blorengeviews @CountryfileMag @PPA_Live Congrats, well deserved. Now... how do we outdo the team that's clearly taken their group shot on yacht!?

[Daniel Bennett @BennettDan]

We (@sciencefocus) have been shortlisted for FOUR @PPA_Live awards!!! Best cover, team, brand and editor. I'm so happy that I might have just skipped across my living room and stubbed my toe.

Now, come vote for us win cover of the year (please!) https://t.co/FwPTFCd54d

[Daniel Bennett @BennettDan]

Smiling from ear to ear to have been named this year's Editor of the Year - Science, Technology & Environment by @bsmeinfo. A wonderful reflection of the genius work produced by the @sciencefocus team over the last 12 months in the midst of some hugely tough challenges.
