Hi Hayley,
I am currently looking forward to this course later in the year. I was awarded a prize to spend on sci comm training last summer and I'm spending it on this:

The new dates haven't been set yet but I've been told it'll be roughly the same sort of time this year.

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Best Sci. Comm. Courses/Conferences?
Hi all!
I have just found out that I have some money in my PhD grant to pay for transferrable skills training and my supervisor has given me free reign to blow it all on sci. comm. training!
So I was wondering- in your opinion which are the best value for money short courses and conferences in outreach/ science communication? Obviously what I end up doing will depend on many factors but I thought this would be an interesting talking point if nothing else. What would you spend the money on?
Best wishes
Hayley
(P.s we are talking a £2500- unfortunately not an unlimited pot of gold!)
