Event details
Meet the Scientist is a component of the University's successful LifeLab programme and is a great way for school pupils to develop as wide a view as possible of all the different ways in which science can be used. The "scientists" are drawn from different backgrounds - PhD, lab manager, research nurse, lab technician, post doc, PI, lecturer, professor. So even if you don't feel you are a "traditional" scientist your contribution is extremely valuable. Participation is also an excellent opportunity for you to reflect on your career path to date, to communicate your research and to inspire this different audience.
In order to support any researchers and scientists who would like to take part, we offer a training day looking at various different aspects of science communication to this audience. This training will have benefits beyond LifeLab, as it will be useful for all public engagement work with school pupils.
