Hi Alaina
Hope you are well, and looking forward to catching up at the RZSS event. I am actually
emailing regarding another event which Heriot-Watt are hosting - Famelab!
The event is taking place in the postgraduate auditorium @ HWU on the 8th December from
2-4pm (further details on our
webpage,<https://www.hw.ac.uk/research/engage/famelab.htm> and via Cheltenham
Festival<http://www.cheltenhamfestivals.com/about/famelab/>)/>).
As you may know, Famelab is a National and International competition aiming to find the
best science communicator in the country and around the world! The competition is
organised by Cheltenham Festival and the British Council, and has already seen more than
5000 young scientists and engineers participating in over 25 different countries
Heriot-Watt will be hosting the Edinburgh Heat, as well as coordinating the Scottish
Final. The Edinburgh heat is open to anyone age over 21 who works in STEM (so do share
with good science communicators you know, I'm sure there must be loads at the zoo!).
We would like to invite you to be on our judging panel for the competition, joining
representatives from Universities and STEM areas. I attach the rules and judging guide
from Famelab, and there will be further guidance on the day. It would be really great if
you could make it, as your experience in science communication would be really useful for
the contestants. Can you please let me know asap! If you can't, and have any other
suggestions from the zoo please let me know!
Many thanks
