In 2016, the British Science Association are running a range of exciting events supporting science communicators around the country. These events are for people from all sub-sectors and backgrounds, but we do target some of our events to particular groups and experience levels.
15 June 2016 – BSA Masterclass: Science Communication Primer (Manchester), People’s History Museum, Manchester, 10am-5.30pm
An essential event for researchers, full-time communicators or volunteers, in their first few years of science communication. Key science communication figures will lead interactive sessions on story-telling, understanding your audience, choosing your medium, evaluation, and next steps for career development. We’ve also partnered with SciComm burrito, to hold their sci comm meetup on the same day from 6:30pm till late.

This event is aimed at people who have three or more years’ experience working in science communication or another sector. To be kept informed about this event, sign up here.
