EPSRC's NOISE Campaign web Site would be useful for people interested in science communication, they could be future NOISE role models.. www.noisenet.ws Regards, Kerry Dr. Kerry Leslie Head of RCUK Science in Society Unit ESRC Polaris House North Star Avenue Swindon SN2 1ET Tel. 01793 413067 Fax. 01793 413128 Web. www.esrc.ac.uk >>> [log in to unmask] 22/03/2005 21:01:28 >>> While everyone is talking about getting starting in science communication... We've held the first two rounds of FameLab auditions, which have gone really well, and exceeded our expectations for numbers of participants. The judges have been very impressed with the quality of participants turning up, and it's been a good opportunity for networking and finding new speakers for science communication. One of the main aims of this competition has always been to get more people working in science to think about engaging the public, and we're keen not to 'lose' the people who've put in all the effort required to audition, even if they didn't make it as a finalist. I'm going to be emailing everyone who takes part and also all those who registered their interest with us (about 1000 people so far) to let them know about other opportunities to get involved in science communication. And while of course I'll let them know about the psci-com database, the BA, Setnet, Café Scientifiques, ABSW etc, I wondered if there was one website I could tell them about that gives them a crash course in the whole area (and links to everyone else)? Does this exist, or is psci-com.ac.uk the closest thing we have (which is a fantastic database, but it helps if you know what you're looking for)? Please let me know if I'm missing something obvious. I had someone phone me today so I talked him through all the different ways he could get involved, but I'd rather not do that individually with everyone!
