Subject: [PSCI-COM] Invitation: Women in Science and the Media Course

Dear All,

Given the recent amount of coverage and discussion about the issues facing female scientists in their careers and in the media, I hope you don't mind if I draw your attention to a new course I've co-developed with colleagues at Imperial College, Warwick Uni and Quercus Training. It's called "Women in Science and the Media" and it aims to help female scientists tackle some of the factors that can hold them back.

Through the medium of science radio and TV production and science writing training, the course helps participants increase their personal impact and develop their  communication and presentation skills, as well as deconstructing the media portrayal of science and female researchers. Although we're using science media as a vehicle, this isn't primarily a media skills course: it's about developing transferable skills that will be invaluable for an academic career. While the course is aimed at early career female scientists (postdocs), men are also very welcome to attend.

The course will take place on 4th-6th January 2013 at Cumberland Lodge (a lovely venue in Windsor) and culminates in a recording session in a radio studio at BBC Broadcasting House.

Places are filling up, so please pass on this information to anyone who might be interested. There is more information here: http://bit.ly/TMjKQT<https://bitly.com/#> and here: http://bit.ly/womenscis, feel free to contact me off-list if you have any questions.

Many thanks,

With best wishes

Claire
