Come and meet some engagement practitioners in a free lunchtime masterclass session: Tuesday February 11th – MED 1.02 – 12.00-1.30pm
Dr Laura Bowater (Norwich Medical School) MED & Dr Kay Yeoman (School of Biological Sciences)
A masterclass on engagement with schools (e.g. Kay’s mobile family science lab) and on their publication, ‘Science Communication: a practical guide for scientists’
Science communication is a rapidly expanding area and meaningful engagement between scientists and the public requires effective communication. Designed to help the novice scientist get started with science communication, this unique guide begins with a short history of science communication before discussing the design and delivery of an effective engagement event. Along with numerous case studies written by highly regarded international contributors, the book discusses how to approach face–to–face science communication and engagement activities with the public while providing tips to avoid potential pitfalls. This book has been written for scientists at all stages of their career, including undergraduates and postgraduates wishing to engage with effective science communication for the first time, or looking to develop their science communication portfolio.
PUBLICATION: Kay Yeoman, ‘Keeping it in the family’
