Event Overview
Science communication professionals bridge the gap between research scientists and the broader scientific community. Interest in this field is growing and involves sharing scientific knowledge with various audiences, including the scientific community, policymakers, and the public, often overlapping with STEM communication. This career offers diverse roles outside of the lab, such as creating detailed scientific reports, simplifying complex science for the public, managing scientific marketing campaigns, or generating digital content such as blogs, podcasts, or social media posts.
Join our expert panel discussion to hear from professionals about their transition into science communication. Learn how to gain experience, stand out, and get inspired by the possibilities in science communication.
Who Should Attend
Anyone in the East Midlands who is interested in networking with colleagues across sectors in drug discovery. Undergraduate, postgraduate, post-doctoral and other early career professionals in life sciences looking to learn more about transferrable skills and how to position their research.
