The PCST Network is delighted to announce that The Kavli Foundation has made a generous grant to support PCST activities over the next year.

PCST is the Network for the Public Communication of Science and Technology. But what is science communication exactly?

Preparations for PCST 2020, to be held in Aberdeen on 26-28 May next year, are in full flow. Get a peek behind the scenes with our interviews with PCST Network Programme Committee Chair Jenni Metcalfe and Local Organising Committee Co-Chair Heather Doran.

We invited people who have attended PCST conferences to tell us about the connections and collaborations that have grown from attending these conferences. Here’s one more story, from PCST 2020 local organising committee co-chair Heather Doran.

In a new series, we tell stories of members’ experiences of PCST conferences and meetings. Luisa Massarani kicks us off with a life changing meeting in Geneva…

‘Navigating change as we face the future’ was the core theme of the UK’s NCCPE-organised conference in Edinburgh, Scotland last week. Professor Richard Holliman, The Open University provides an overview of what took place. 

Heather Doran, Alex Gerber and others took part in the ‘New Understanding of Communication, Learning and Engagement in Universities and Scientific institutions’ meeting in Malta.

Congratulations to Hans Peter Peters, who has been elected as a life member of the PCST.

Stories, and histories, connect us, even across great distances.  Defined broadly, science communication is society talking about science. That could well be recast: science communication is society telling stories about science.
