A pox on www! Has the humble website become the public engagement tool of choice for the lazy scientist?

Or should that be a pixel! If you want a brief but mind-boggling, diversion from the tedium of your day then look no further than 'internet live stats' which shows the number of website, blogs, tweets and other social media stuff being created every second of every day.

The life sciences, the public and the growth agenda…its not just about bums on seats

This is an extract from a talk I gave on Monday to the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the University of Newcastle.  I tried to answer the following question:  The life sciences are seen as fundamental to the nation’s health and to economic growth.  But what is the public’s role in making this happen?  The … Continue reading The life sciences, the public and the growth agenda…its not just about bums on seats →

Research is for life: making research part and parcel of the patient journey

Canada gets the ‘patient involvement in research’ bug

A few weeks ago I mentioned meeting the Director of the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) to discuss public involvement in research. Last night I stumbled on the following announcement by the Canadian Government about the development of a patient-orientated research strategy. Excellent news.
