Hi
all
This is a reminder Sense about Science are running a Standing up for Science workshop for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) on Thursday 11th April at Norwich Research Park, as part of our Voice of Young Science network and applications will be closing soon!
The workshop is FREE for STEM and social science ECRs, trainees, and medical professionals. The workshop aims to build the confidence and skills of ECRs to engage in the public discourse around science, research, and the research process by bringing together researchers, media, and policy professionals to share their insights and expertise. The day ends with a practical session on how best to communicate some of the most complex issues of science and evidence and where the public conversation about science can go wrong.
Please could you share the webpage and application form with your ECR networks and encourage them to apply - the deadline for applications is Friday 5th April. I’ve also included some text below that can be distributed in an email and here is a suggested tweet that can be used to promote the workshop:
