Hi all,
The Royal Society of Biology has more training courses coming up that may be relevant to those working or volunteering in science communication. Upcoming courses include directly relevant courses like science podcasting and presentation skills, and courses on areas that I'm sure will be useful to those working in science communication, such as project management and volunteer support and management.
I have provided some details below, please feel free to forward this to your relevant networks. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at [log in to unmask]
Best wishes,
