perspectives - a poster session with a difference
21 Apr 2009
A chance to discuss your research with a non-specialist audience
Do you discuss your science with confidence?
Or is its social impact just a brief sentence at the start of a publication?
Scientists often have to show that they are aware of the social & ethical context of their research. Yet most early-career researchers have little time set aside to consider the social implications of their work.
perspectives, a poster session with a difference, is a chance for you to discuss your research with a non-specialist audience. Attend an interactive training day – learn about poster design and sharpen your communication skills. Then present your poster at the British Science Festival in September, at the University of Surrey in Guildford. Cash prizes are awarded by a panel of expert judges.
