Hi Jenny, AT UKRC we are in touch with many women scientists, engineers, technologists etc. Many are willing to give talks on a voluntary basis from time to time. We will shortly relaunch our GetSET Women website, which has profiles of lots of women in SET and where you can search for a possible speaker. We send a regular newsletter out to the members of GetSET Women, which from time to time includes this sort of request. Recently we asked for speakers for a girls school in London, and two very interesting women got in touch with the school. Best wishes, Ruth Wilson ________________________________ From: psci-com: on public engagement with science [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jenny Beard Sent: 24 July 2009 11:17 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [PSCI-COM] Events on a tight budget - do you have any advice? Hi all, Apologies for cross posting. Do you have any advice for potential event organisers based in schools, on how they can organise a successful, engaging event for very little money? We are producing a document with advice and specific ideas for running very cheap, but engaging school events or activities during National Science and Engineering Week. We would love to include advice, tips and ideas directly from people who have done this to encourage schools to get involved. Many schools want to get organise science related events but feel they don't have the money or resources. Therefore we want to give them a range of specific developed ideas and also general advice on how to arrange events for a budget of £150 or less. Do you have any advice or ideas? If you do we would love to add it in. Thanks so much Jenny __________________________________ Have you ever wondered how much our perceptions of dishonesty can vary? This can have huge implications on the outcome of criminal trials - particularly if you are on a jury. We've teamed up with Brunel University and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) to explore what public perceptions of honesty really are. Tell us what you think by taking part in our international scientific study here www.honestylab.com <http://www.honestylab.com> then find out the results at the British Science Festival <http://www.britishsciencefestival.org> in Surrey from 5 - 10 September 2009.
