Welcome to “Engagement Matters” a new blog post series all about public engagement at The University of Manchester. Each month Dr Sheena Cruickshank, our Academic Lead for Public Engagement, along with guest bloggers will share some highlights and insights of taking part in, supporting, and reflecting on the many ways in which we connect, share and involve the public in our work.
In this post Sheena talks about her recent visit to Washington DC, where as a American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Leshner Public Engagement Fellow she spent a week in the company of international engaging researchers.
