The SciComm Confessional
Summary: The STEM Response Team and The Royal Institution have a wealth of experience developing and delivering science demonstrations, but things still go wrong.
Everyone finds it hard to admit they’ve made mistakes, especially Health and Safety ones. We believe it reflects poorly on us, but they do happen. We’ll encourage scicommers of all experiences to share mistakes they’ve made and the lessons they learned. By sharing these we hope to collectively learn without the mistakes.
We encourage attendees with decades of experience to show those with less that everyone makes mistakes and together we can all get better and safer.
Session type: Discussion session - cabaret/classroom layout essential, 1 hour
