At InterSci we believe that interdisciplinary science and public engagement are key to scientific innovation – but how do you engage with the public when your research involves animals?
Come along to our event on Wednesday 15th November to discuss how to engage with the public when talking about animal research, bring along controversial questions you wouldn’t know how to answer if asked during a presentation and learn tips and tricks about how to talk about your research confidently.
The panel discussion will be followed by small group sessions where scientists working in animal research can discuss how they would approach more difficult questions specific to their research.
Panel:
Lesley Penny – Director of Veterinary Scientific Services, Edinburgh University
Jen Middleton – PR & Media Manager (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine), Edinburgh University
Kirsty Ross – Outreach Officer EPSRC/MRC Centre for Optical Medical Imaging (OPTIMA) and the Bionanotechnology theme of the Technology & Innovation Centre, Strathclyde University
Ben Moore – Trained Veterinary Surgeon now studying a PhD at The Roslin Institute, Edinburgh University
Audience: The event is aimed at scientists who work with animals as part of their research/job
We have limited spaces available for this workshop – registration will open on Monday 29th October through eventbrite. Keep an eye on the Facebook event for updates.
