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

, starting 24 February 2020.
The course is free to attend for members of the Biochemical Society and £50 for others.
You will have access to the module for one year, and lead educators will reply to your
comments in the first 6 weeks, so you're encouraged to complete the course during this
time.
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
