It was an informal gathering of science communication researchers, practitioners, and others with an interest in science communication. The event was arranged by Sarah Davies, a research fellow at the Department of Media, Cognition and Communication at UCPH, and took place at The Bird and the Churchkey, a local bar that specializes in gin 🙂
There was no agenda for the meeting, so after a brief introduction by Sarah people had drinks and chatted. Among others I had the pleasure of meeting a British-Australian paleo-climatologist who is looking to get into science communication. She recently came to Denmark and writes about climate science on her blog, Tak Fur The Kaffe.
I had a good time at the meeting and look forward to more in the future. Not that I don’t enjoy chatting and drinking gin, but I hope to see a more formal agenda with themes and invited speakers as well. If you’re interested in joining, write an email to scienceinthecityresearch@gmail.com.
