A major new book on public engagement with science has been published today by the Wellcome Trust.

'Engaging Science: Thoughts, deeds, analysis and action' features essays from leading researchers, practitioners and commentators. It examines what we have learned about the relationships between these groups over the past decade and what the implications are for future practice.

Topics include public attitudes to science, the role of the media in public engagement, the scientists' perspective, implications for education, linking the public to policy making, and the role of campaigning groups.

'Engaging Science' also includes summaries of key Trust-funded projects and initiatives supported over the past decade.

Copies are available free. Download the essays or order a copy today.
