Dear all, I am emailing you about a great opportunity that may be of interest to some of you. The Biochemical Society is running an online training course, an Introduction to public engagement and science policy <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__biochemical-2Dsociety.myshopify.com_collections_frontpage_products_introduction-2Dto-2Dpublic-2Dengagement-2Dand-2Dscience-2Dpolicy&d=DwMFaQ&c=D7ByGjS34AllFgecYw0iC6Zq7qlm8uclZFI0SqQnqBo&r=dk3_yLMAYLn4pM9Y3LxiABT90Z8r2QB5Lbx_iD0nFBf0OEPDIs3N-b_d-dPvXebt&m=Z4ufAMXjomX65kivn5cHDTBqweB0nP7NK70Zf1DTKuc&s=6K3FQtZlO_DTdl0lnBRWBoEqcznRLhcZvUMOwqr_Avw&e=> , starting 24 February 2020. The course is free to attend for members of the Biochemical Society and £50 for others.

Please let the Public Engagement team know<mailto:engage@wgc.org.uk> if you plan to take this course. Participants will explore how the molecular biosciences can contribute to UK policy, and share tools that can be used to engage the public effectively. This course is ideal for early career to established bioscientists who wish to learn more about science policy and public engagement. Topics covered in this interactive course include: * Introduction to science communication * Science in policy-making – a guide to the UK landscape * Public engagement activities * Evaluation of impact Best wishes, Public Engagement team Tel: +44 (0)1223 496822 Wellcome Genome Campus Public Engagement | Wellcome Genome Campus | Hinxton | Cambridgeshire | CB10 1SA | UK www.wellcomegenomecampus.org/publicengagement<https://urldefense.proofpo… Follow WGCengage on Twitter<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__eur01.safel… | Instagram<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__eur01.saf… Wellcome Genome Campus Public Engagement is part of Connecting Science, which enables everyone to explore genomic science and its impact on research, health and society.
