My work mainly consists of communicating our research and training to academics, researchers and postgraduate students.
A lot of our communications are done online, and I am responsible for this website and the Realities website. I produce online resources, including recordings of presentations from our events and short videos.
Between Realities and the Morgan Centre, we have a busy events programme of seminars, training workshops and conferences. Though I do help coordinate these, the hard graft is done by Vicky Higham and Lisa Jenkins.
I have a blog on anything and everything to do with communicating research to different audiences.
