Working in science is not limited to conducting practical laboratory research. An important role in science is to promote public understanding of scientific issues, which has never been more important than now during this global pandemic. Communicating science in a clear, engaging way is important for politicians, businesses, and funders to be able to make informed decisions and to help understand the issues at hand. This webinar featured three different panellists who work in this particular field:

• Dr Aimee Eckert, Senior Research Communications Officer at Breast Cancer Now

• Dr Stuart Rulten, Principal Medical Writer at Prime Global

• Dr Sorrel Bunting, Engagement Manager at the British Pharmacological Society

The webinar was chaired by Dr Robbie Baldock, Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry at Solent University.
