Hi,
I'm trying to get this message out to undergraduates all over the world, and I was wondering if the PSCI-COMmers might be able to help? If you can send this message to any undergraduates, departments or universities that might be interested in attending or promoting this fantastic (& nearly free to attend) course then I ask you to do so. Just send them the text below. It's not strictly science communication, but it is a fantastic way to inspire the future generation of research scientists and I'd be really grateful for your help to spread the word.
We're also running a Thunderclap - https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/64459-undergraduate-summer-school - so if you are able to help us promote this event using social media sign up today! Just follow the links and then click “support with twitter” and “support with facebook” etc.
If you would like any further info, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best wishes
Felicity Perry | Head of Communications and Engagement
