Sounds interesting, but unfortunately it clashes with the
Science Communicators Forum! (10.00-17.00, 8 Sept, Mech
Eng Building, Imperial College).
If anyone would like to know more about the afternoon
STEMPRA session in the Forum "New Ways of Cutting the
Cake - implications of recent research for communications
strategies" - please look at the events section on the
STEMPRA web site at
http://www2.ifr.bbsrc.ac.uk/stempra/new.htm
or contact me.
Cheers,
Barbara
