Talk/Webinar: Public engagement - a two-way street

Public engagement is increasingly recognised as an essential activity for scientists. Effective public engagement is a two-way street. One direction encourages dissemination of scientific results and their implications. The other encourages shaping of research projects and interdisciplinary collaborations. There are many challenges in both directions, including (but not limited to) negotiating the trade-offs between detail, accuracy, and accessibility. Nor is public engagement just about results. It is also about how science works, or how it ought to work, and how it is part of wider society. I will share some lessons learned from my own public engagement experience in neuroscience and consciousness research, covering public talks, art-science collaborations, podcasts and media, and more. I hope to provide both practical guidance and wider context that will help scientists become not only better communicators, but – in the process – better scientists too. [more]

Course: Introduction to Python

  • Start: Oct 21, 2024
  • End: Dec 2, 2024
  • Location: online only
Workshop Description: In this hands-on workshop, we will explore the Python and Pandas data analysis ecosystem in depth, applying them to data analysis of a real-world electrophysiology neuroscience experiment! Collaboration sessions see participants working in small teams, collaborating to learn new skills and share their perspectives in a diverse environment. Libraries like Numpy, XArray, Seaborn, Pingouin, and Matplotlib will help span the data analysis path between processed neuroscience data and final results. At the end of each session, all interactive Jupyter notebooks that explore the tools introduced that day will be available for further independent learning and review, with teachers available to answer questions and extra homework assignments provided to help digest the new material.
