This course takes place over 2 days, Thursday 25th February and Thursday 8th April. We expect that interest will be larger than the capacity for this course. Registering here does not guarantee entry to the course. We will create a waiting list and admit students as space allows. Students will receive an email confirming their entry to the course. If you register for the course but then can no longer participate, please let us know so that we can admit someone from the waitlist. If you are on the waitlist, please keep these days free in case there is a cancellation.
On the first day students will be introduced to ideas about science communication and education and will observe experienced science communicators. Students are encouraged to develop an activity about their research for general audiences.
On the second day, some weeks later, students will have the opportunity to present their activity to general audiences in the museum. If students feel they cannot develop their own activity, some prepared activities will be available. Students must participate in both days to receive credit.
No previous experience or specialist knowledge is required.
SUPA will reimburse for travel to this course, but please complete the travel application form in advance. See page 6 of the SUPA Course Catalogue.
