A science communication lecture with a difference for the students following Master of Science in Applied Oceanography and those following Bachelor of Science in Medical Biochemistry: a morning at Esplora.
Instead of the typical lecture room or lab, the students were hosted at Esplora, the National Interactive Science Centre, for a discussion on how to communicate science effectively. The event was coordinated by senior lecturers Dr Anthony Galea and Dr Edward Duca, and Esplora staff members from the Education Department and the STEM Engagement Department: Sarah Ghose Roy, Yacopo Baldacchino, Katrina Debono, Des Zerafa Cini, Rebecca Buttigieg, Eriksson Deguara and Erica Falzon. It included discussions on Esplora's content development, public engagement initiatives, a site tour and a dedicated science workshops.
This event was organised thanks to a collaboration between the Department of Geosciences (Faculty of Science), the Department of Mathematics & Science Education (Faculty of Education), the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, and Esplora.
