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.
