Editor's Notes
- Funding, engaging communities (not the converted), women in science /engineering, have things changed?
- Direct interactions: talks, Demonstrations, Displays, Public Events, festival, performances, science centres, posters, Workshop activities. Talks Public dialogues Festivals/science weeks Exhibitions & posters Science Centres and museums Schools: ambassador/mentor Open days Performances Dance your phd STEM Wellcome collections Royal Society Summer exhibition If you want to get into science journalism, become a member of the, volunteer to write for your student newspaper, magazine or press office. BlueSci, Bang!, EuSci, IScience and Au are good examples of student science magazines There is a spectrum of public engagement varying from one way communication such as giving talks in schools to 2 way communication such as citizen juries. You are probably used to giving talks at seminars or conferences about your work, which is usually one way communication followed by a few questions and answers. This would fall more to the left of the spectrum. Organisations like say Defra may want to gather information from the public as to what they think about climate change, which may help them work out what further information they need to highlight. Then there is consultation where an organisation may put out a consultation to find out what the local community feel about a new proposal – for example about a new power station to be built in a new town. Moving further along the spectrum are programmes where real engagement occurs.
