Crucible Programme seeks Researcher

8 March 2010

Nesta's Crucible programme for researchers aims to give researchers a better understanding of how to engage with areas external to their usual environments which would include media, policy and public engagement worlds.

They are in the process of turning the programme into an online resource for universities to use and are creating a couple of short films about researchers engaging
with the media and policy worlds. They are looking for people to interview for these films in particular:
 
A print journalist (preferably on a daily newspaper) who would be able to provide an account of the daily routine of a science journalist
 
A researcher (from any science or social science area) who has had an experience of having their work covered by the media who can talk about the positive and negative effects of this
 
They are filming on in London on 15th March at NESTA's office (near Chancery Lane or we may be able to come to you if time allows) so they would need to be available then.
