Researchers in Residence

Some of you might remember that I sent an e-mail round a while ago about the Researchers in Residence scheme, which gives PhD students and post-docs (currently only those funded by UK research councils or Wellcome Trust) an opportunity to spend a few hours in a local school sharing your research and experience. This is a really exciting chance to step outside the world of academia and develop your communication skills in a completely different environment.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to arrange for the organiser to come to QM and run a training session here, but there is another session at Imperial on 16th March, if anyone is interested in going along to that and finding out more.

Also, if anyone is already on the scheme, I would be very interested in hearing about your experiences, and perhaps you would be able to write a short article about it to post on this blog? Please let me know!
