Dear Jo and others There is a list of science events etc on the psci-com web site at http://www.psci-com.ac.uk/events/. The list is split into two sections: those aimed at science communication practitioners and those aimed at a general audience. The list is compiled by the Wellcome Library from a large range of sources and organisations. It is UK-focused, but also includes major international events. The list has, in fact, become so long that we are developing a search facility to enable better use to be made of the data. Best wishes Louise Louise Simon Information Officer (and editor of psci-com web site) Wellcome Trust Library for the History and Understanding of Medicine 183 Euston Road London NW1 2BE Telephone: +44 (0)20 7611 7316 Fax: +44 (0)020 7611 8726 mailto:[log in to unmask] The Wellcome Trust is a registered charity, no.210183.
