Update: Speed-dating for scientists

5 March 2006

A 'matchmaking' event was held in February 2006 to catalyse long-term relationships between 25 Wellcome Trust-funded scientists and TV producers. A 'speed-dating' format gave the scientists five minutes to tell their stories to 12 science producers, editors and commissioning editors from the broadcast media.

The event was held at the Hiscox Art Café in London, and was compered by BBC radio and TV presenter Barbara Myers.
