>resources, debate, ask questions etc.

>And following on from the earlier threads about how to get more postgrads

>activities. It's free (and ad-free) to join at: www.connectingscience.org
>Please feel free to spread the word!

>I also run a company that provides media and science communication training

>>Where possible I like to point them at sources that might be appropriate

>>
>>Not many so far, BBSRC, Sense About Science and the Social Issues Research
>>Centre.
>>
>>If you know of any other material on this front, I would be happy to

>>While I am at it, I would also like to build up a page with links to

>>this front. Anyone else?
