Public Awareness of Science |
|
|
As
part of the Royal Society University Research Fellowship award and
any funding by the UK government Biotechnology & Biological
Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), the award holder is able to devote
some time to the "public awareness of
science". The following initiatives have been
undertaken:
|
|
| 2009 | |
| (Many new updates to this website). | |
| 2007 | |
| Instigation of this website (queenmaryphotosynthesis.org/nield/ and early designs of queenmaryphotosynthesis.org) to showcase this particular science, co-designing specific clickable images and linking them to text-based descriptions of the photosynthetic electron chain, with click-through links for each complex, subunits and co-factors. Christmas Photosynthesis meeting organisation at Queen Mary. Organsiation of an 'open' discussion meeting (350 delegates) at the Royal Society (July). | |

| As the group was in temporary accommodation during a period of laboratory refurbishment, this proved problematic for an 'open day', hence an initiative was organised with Imperial College's Inspire scheme (http://www.imperial.ac.uk/inspire/). Several afternoons in June and December were organised for teacher-training (Physics), including hands-on electron microscopy and the value of image-processing techniques, and students from Ilford and Hackney attended another course. A number of schools participate in the Inspire scheme, and several sessions benefited more Yr 12 A/S level strudents than was previously possible (given 'dry' computing lab refurbishment). |

For a second year, an open day was organised for sixteen Yr 12 biology students from The Hemel Hempstead School re: Biology A/S level 'Special Activities'. A pupil & teacher's kit was assembled for the activities. Monday 28th June. |
|
| 2003 | |
Two open days in June were organised for Year 12 biology students from The Hemel Hempstead School in order to enthuse them with Science, show them a working University research group, 'science in progress' & discuss University life in general. |

An article appeared in 'Pour La Science', the French equivalent of Scientific American. |
