Five years after our inaugural public engagement strategy, we undertook a review and refresh. This new document reflects comments from our Life Sciences community and evolving priorities within the sector and will help drive our work in the coming years.
Public engagement with research is essential to our ambition to transform lives through the sharing of knowledge. Public engagement enables researchers to connect with society for mutual benefit. In the School of Life Sciences, we are committed to creating a culture of curiosity, confidence and engagement with science. By building on our partnerships we aim to widen participation in science and to show the relevance of life sciences research for everyone. We commit to delivering this strategy over the next five years.
Here you will find a series of images taken by scientists based at the University of Dundee that highlight the microbes they work with. The images in the collection are part of a physical exhibition located at the Dundee Science Centre.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
