UWA Sci Comm Friday Seminar- Catalyst & Cambridge

Friday Seminar: Jo Edmonston

Jo began her career as a molecular biologist and from 2006-09 managed technology transfer within a national research centre. Now working as a Graduate Education Officer at UWA, Jo will give a brief overview of the science communication focus of her career to date, including how she managed to move from benchwork, lecturing in biotechnology and completing a PhD in science communication, to developing practice and policy initiatives in biosecurity. As she has an aversion to jargon that borders on the pathological, she promises to keep acronyms and abbreviations to a minimum.

Time & Date: 4pm Friday 21st May 2010

Location: Seminar Room, Basement of Centre for Learning Technology, Physics Building UWA; Crawley Campus; Entry via ramp between Physics and Geology
