My presentation: ‘Moving science communication and public engagement upstream’ was scheduled in the parallel session ’scientists, journalists and citizens: communication, roles and relations’. Here are the links to my abstract and presentation….

Last week, Andy Miah and I set up a new email discussion list: Upstream Nano. We are aiming to build a special interest group on public engagement and nanoscience and nanotechnology, where an exchange of ideas on the particularities of such work are the focus. Joining the list is simple and information can be found here.

Last week I attended the advanced course on Public Communication and Applied Ethics of Nanotechnology in Oxford. Although I have some background in the area of media engagement of nanotechnology, including my Masters dissertation, this course was actually a very good “starting point” for my PhD research! It offered a very diverse view on nano by engaging lecturers [...]
