TO: PSCI-COM UK Dear PSCI-COM list members I am helping the British Council in southern Africa to develop a public engagement plan around the theme: Food, nutrition and health. We are planning a series of workshops (from about August 2006 to March 2007) to design the details of the programme and develop some of its tangible products. A key aspect of these workshops will be the involvement of relevant experts from the UK. I am therefore interested to make contact with research scientists and science communication professionals with experience (and ideas!) in the field of public communication and engagement around food, nutrition and health. We are specifically interested to explore disinformation and misinformation in the media and how informed decision making around food, nutrition and health could be promoted - via mass media and other (more innovative?) science communication channels such as science theatre. I look forward to hearing from UK scientists and communicators who would like to partner with us in this project.
