Always a joy when someone on the list complains about spelling at the same time as they’re committing a ‘spelling atrocity’ themselves. Btw, there are far too many spaces in that sentence. Perhaps a word processing re-fresher course could kick that into touch? ;) Wynn PS: Hi Hayley – in addition to the UWE course - you may want to attend the annual British Science Association Science Communication Conference (in May 2012): http://www.britishscienceassociation.org/web/ScienceinSociety/ScienceCommuni cationConference/ScienceCommunicationConference.htm The British Science Association also has a Media Fellowship programme: http://www.britishscienceassociation.org/web/scienceinsociety/MediaFellowshi ps/ The Royal Society runs short media and communication courses: http://royalsociety.org/training/communication-media/ The SciComm Group at Imperial run short courses occasionally – although I think there may have to be a minimum number of participants. Worth contacting them to see... I’m sure you’ll also find some suggestions via the ABSW network (if you don’t know about that already): http://www.absw.org.uk/ From: psci-com: on public engagement with science [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ruth Linton Sent: 19 January 2012 18:57 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [PSCI-COM] Best Sci.

Comm. Courses/Conferences? Hi all! I have just found out that I have some money in my PhD grant to pay for transferrable skills training and my supervisor has given me free reign to blow it all on sci. comm. training! So I was wondering- in your opinion which are the best value for money short courses and conferences in outreach/ science communication? Obviously what I end up doing will depend on many factors but I thought this would be an interesting talking point if nothing else. What would you spend the money on?
