Over the past two years, my Senior Media Fellowship has allowed me to develop and present science and engineering, especially acoustics, to the general public. The most significant success have been on radio, for instance I will present seven radio documentaries on BBC Radio 4 and World Service in 2009.I want an extension to my fellowship to allow me to build further on the contacts and networks I have developed in radio and TV. But I also want to expand my public engagement skills to include writing. I am planning two placements, one at the Guardian and one at BBC on-line, to help me develop my written communication skills. I also propose to write a popular science book on the subject of noise entitled Sounds About Me, which explores how people respond to different sounds, and what this tells us about ourselves, mankind and society.I will continue to promote my own subject area, which is acoustics, but I have already shown an ability to communicate across a wide range of subjects in science and engineering, for instance my regular slot on BBC Radio Manchester covers all areas of science not just sound. Sound is a common theme within all forms of media, whether that be reviews of the latest IPod technology in newspapers, or discussions of how to deal with noisy anti-social behaviour on TV news. Sound also features on the school curriculum at all key stages, and hence this extension proposal includes ideas for further work with Teachers TV. It is also an ideal subject for inspiring the next generation of engineers, tapping into young people's interest in music technology.I also want to try to advance the EQUAL agenda in the media. EQUAL is concerned with extending the quality of life for older people and disabled people. Acoustics and EQUAL are connected because one of the key experiences of ageing is deafness. This is subtle (our loved ones notice before we do), important (speech communication) and almost universal, and so makes a great subject for engaging the public. Sound and EQUAL are ideal themes for this fellowship, because through them I can enrich the general public's understanding of the connections between their everyday experiences, and engineering and science.

在过去的两年里，我的高级媒体奖学金使我能够向公众发展和展示科学和工程，特别是声学。最重要的成功是在广播方面，例如，我将在2009年在BBC广播4频道和全球服务频道主持7部广播纪录片。我希望能延长我的研究金，好让我能进一步建立我在广播和电视方面发展起来的人际关系和网络。但我也想扩大我的公众参与技能，包括写作。我正在计划两个实习，一个在卫报，一个在BBC在线，来帮助我发展我的书面沟通技巧。我还建议写一本关于噪音的科普书，书名为《关于我的声音》，探讨人们对不同声音的反应，以及这些声音对我们自己、人类和社会的启示。我将继续推广我自己的学科领域，即声学，但我已经展示了在科学和工程领域广泛交流的能力，例如，我在英国广播公司曼彻斯特电台的定期节目涵盖了所有科学领域，而不仅仅是声音。无论是报纸上对最新IPod技术的评论，还是电视新闻中对如何处理吵闹的反社会行为的讨论，声音都是各种形式媒体的共同主题。声音在学校课程的所有关键阶段也有特色，因此这个扩展提案包括与教师电视进一步合作的想法。它也是激发下一代工程师的理想主题，利用年轻人对音乐技术的兴趣。我也想尝试在媒体上推进平等议程。平等计划关注的是延长老年人和残疾人的生活质量。声学和EQUAL是联系在一起的，因为衰老的关键体验之一是耳聋。这是微妙的（我们所爱的人比我们先注意到），重要的（语言交流），几乎是普遍的，因此是一个吸引公众的好话题。Sound和EQUAL是这次奖学金的理想主题，因为通过它们，我可以丰富公众对他们日常经历与工程和科学之间联系的理解。
