The document discusses a program run by the Outreach Schools and Community Team to provide science workshops and activities in prisons. It details a trial program held at Holloway Prison involving science activities for families with incarcerated relatives. The program was later expanded to Pentonville Prison. Feedback was positive from both inmates and officers, with many inmates saying it was a rare opportunity to bond with their children and feel normal. The team learned regulations vary between prisons and adjustments must be made. Top tips included allowing extra time, pre-visiting locations, following prison staff instructions, and being flexible.

Eimeg tan tleiaoltieg (We are home where we belong): Home for Life: An applie...
The aim of this research study was to explore the needs of Elders living at Elsipogtog First Nation (largest First Nation Community in New Brunswick) and understand the services and support they need to continue to live in their own homes as long as possible. The population of Elders in First Nations in Canada is estimated to skyrocket in the coming decade, so this research is timely and crucial. A unique approach to the research was developed, using a community-based research team. This team was intergenerational and comprised mostly of Mi’kmaq people from Elsipogtog. The team was prepared through a series of education sessions, conducting in-depth interviews with thirty Elders in their own language: Mi’kmaq, and developing and testing a Home for Life Assessment Tool. This approach created a culturally safe environment, with resulted in rich data, thick descriptions, and many stories which provided a clear picture of the needs of the participants. Five key findings came from this study: 1) loneliness, 2) poor housing conditions, 3) fear, safety, and security, 4) food insecurity, and 5) lack of a continuum of long-term care in the community- the need to live at home or in a supportive living Elder Care Lodge in the Community (to maintain culture, language, friends, family, familiar foods, and ceremonies). The study resulted in implementing a “Meals to Go” program to address food insecurity, and a long-term care education programming called, “Eva’s Vision” to better manage dementia and end-of life care. This research study has resulted in a strong and solid relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous people who shared a common goal and showed trust and respect for each other in the accomplishment of the goal. This study can be scaled up to other New Brunswick First Nations Communities, by using the Home for Life Assessment Tool to determine needs for Elders and then acting on results. Our larger goal is to develop a culturally appropriate continuum of long-term care program model for First Nations Communities.

Concucting Research With Children - AMSRS Presentation
This document discusses the challenges of conducting traditional in-person qualitative research with children and how online qualitative methods can help address some of these issues. It describes how children can become bored, distracted, intimidated or influenced by others in traditional settings. To help with these problems, the document advocates using online surveys, discussion boards, and combining observation methods. It then provides an example of an effective case study where an online discussion board was used over multiple days to get insightful feedback from children about potential new snack products. The board engaged the children and provided time for considered responses and conversations with friends and family. Overall the online method generated useful brand, packaging and taste insights for the client.

Howard Hendricks: Law 3, The Law of Activity
The document discusses different types of meaningful activities that maximize learning according to "The Law of Activity." These include activities that provide direction without being dictatorial, stress function and application, have a planned purpose, consider both process and product, and include realistic problem-solving situations. The goal is for learners to be highly involved through activities that draw them out rather than just pouring information in.

Communicating risk
The document discusses the importance of communicating uncertainty when providing predictions or forecasts. It argues that simply stating a predicted value and the level of uncertainty is not enough. Effective communication of uncertainty requires providing reasons for uncertainty, the range of plausible outcomes, and information on the relative likelihood of different outcomes when possible. For deep uncertainties where likelihoods cannot be quantified, it is important to describe the nature of the uncertainties and indicate the prediction is just one possibility. Authorities should also communicate monitoring activities and contingency plans to address uncertainty.
SCC 2014 - Data visualisation for public engagement
Data Visualisation and Information Design are increasingly employed in print, broadcast and web media to convey complex ideas or bring simple ones to life. The tools for maps, infographics and visualisations are becoming cheaper and easier to use, and the range of approaches is diversifying. At the same time, data of all kinds is becoming more accessible, whether on research funding (through the Gateways to Research platform), Open Government Data, or the results of individual research projects – as Open Access initiatives to make sharing scientific data a key element of journal publications. We will cover basic ideas and examples of visualisation for newcomers, how visualisation exists as part of wider engagement goals and include a more critical discussion about what visualisation needs to do in order to be a meaningful mechanism for engagement and participation.

SCC 2014 - What is wellbeing and what does it mean for science communication?British Science Association
The document discusses the concepts of well-being and happiness. It summarizes research conducted in Bolton, UK in 1938 and again in 2014 measuring factors important for happiness. The three most important factors in 1938 were security, knowledge, and religion, while in 2014 they were security, good humor, and equality. The document also discusses various definitions and approaches to measuring well-being.SCC 2014 - The role of design in science communication
Design can improve science communication by making scientific concepts and data more accessible and understandable. Examples of how design has helped communicate science include using visual metaphors and simulations to illustrate uncertain or probabilistic concepts. Collaboration between scientists and designers is important, with designers bringing communication expertise and scientists providing content knowledge. The potential of design includes using programming and interactive tools to enable broader public participation in science by making mathematical and data concepts more accessible.

He aha te mea nui o te ao
What is the most important thing in the world?
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata
It is the people, it is the people, it is the people
This Maori proverb emphasises that people are the most important thing in the world: a concept we will explore in this session serving as a reminder of the importance of tailoring engagement towards your audience’s needs. We will present findings from research commissioned by the Wellcome Trust, which looked at reaching young people from low socio-economic backgrounds, alongside research commissioned by the British Science Association exploring how to include under-represented audiences in National Science and Engineering Week. Comparisons with other cultures will be presented by the University of the West of England, with a case study of engagement with Maori in a New Zealand science festival.

SCC 2014 - Setting content free: How and why you should use open licences in ...British Science Association
Wikipedia, open access journals and social media have all transformed the way we look at copyright, and have brought the concept of open licences (such as Creative Commons) into the mainstream.
This movement offers great opportunities for science communicators, by opening up new avenues for communicating work and providing a wide range of high quality content at no cost.
This session will look at the practicalities of open licensing of science communication materials, for content producers (academics, press officers), custodians (museums, libraries, archives) and users (science shows, blogs and publications).
The session will give some case studies of good practice in this field, but the majority of the hour will be given over to practical exercises covering how, why and when to use open licences. This will be followed by a group discussion in which session participants and the panellists can share experiences and ask questions about the issues raised.
Speakers: Robert Kiley (Wellcome Trust), Rosie Coates (science made simple), Oli Usher (UCL) SCC 2014 - Schools and scientists: Doing research together combined
Scientific research is a journey into the unknown, so teaching science with tried and tested practicals does not prepare students for the excitement and uncertainty of scientific discovery. Undertaking actual scientific research provides considerable learning opportunities for pupils and provides researchers with the opportunity to engage young people with their work in a rich and rewarding manner. Partnerships between researchers and young scientists can contribute to scientific breakthroughs and provide real insights and skills for aspiring young scientists. However, such approaches are not without their challenges. You will be presented with cases studies from space science and plant pathology research followed by the chance to engage in round table discussions with teachers, researchers, funders and science communicators involved in these projects. This will provide you the opportunity to discuss how you can involve schools and young people in research or support them to carry out their own scientific investigations.
Speakers: Becky Parker (Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys), Paul Nicholson (John Innes Centre), Sarah Calne (Wymondham High Academy), Chair: Tristan Maclean (BBSRC Inspiring Young Scientists)

You will be presented with cases studies from space science and plant pathology research followed by the chance to engage in round table discussions with teachers, researchers, funders and science communicators involved in these projects. This will provide you the opportunity to discuss how you can involve schools and young people in research or support them to carry out their own scientific investigations.
Speakers: Becky Parker (Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys), Paul Nicholson (John Innes Centre), Sarah Calne (Wymondham High Academy), Chair: Tristan Maclean (BBSRC Inspiring Young Scientists)

SCC 2014 - How informal science education can better inform STEM education
SCC 2014 - How informal science education can better inform STEM educationBritish Science Association
Despite considerable agreement that engaging science communication can stimulate interest in formal STEM study and careers; only relatively few providers report these outcomes. Given that insufficient young people are choosing to study STEM subjects and that the profile of those who do pursue STEM careers is too narrow, we are challenging three very different providers of informal science communication to measure the impact of their work. To do this our speakers will consider how science communicators can build sustainable business models that successfully balance impact and values against the need for funding and we will question if the sector is hampered by a perception that the only credible communicators of science are active researchers.
Facilitator: Tim Slingsby (British Council) Speakers: Wendy Sadler (science made simple), Jonathan Longfellow (Mad Science East Midlands), Eduardo Sáenz de Cabezón (The Big Van Theory)SCC 2014 - How science policy really works
This document discusses the roles that learned societies and institutions can play in raising issues and influencing science policy. It examines what policymakers need, which is access to evidence and clarity, and what learned societies have to offer, such as expertise and convening power. It also considers the challenges of being heard by policymakers and ensuring science policy discussions are timely and politically aware. Finally, it looks at the extent to which public opinion should influence science policy and examples of how it has, such as through focus groups or evidence-based advocacy campaigns.
SCC 2014 - Day of discovery: Running your own public attitudes to science day
SCC 2014 - Day of discovery: Running your own public attitudes to science dayBritish Science Association
Public Attitudes to Science 2014 (PAS 2014) is the fifth in the series of studies looking at the UK public’s attitudes to science, scientists and science policy. PAS 2014 mixed survey research with a range of qualitative research strands, one of which was our “Day of Discovery” workshop. The Day of Discovery aimed to get the public themselves to tell us the best ways to engage people with science, and to generate new ideas for scientists, science communicators and policymakers to connect with the public. Based on this event, we have created a toolkit giving tips on how to use the findings from the PAS 2014 survey to start debates about better engagement with science. This session will present the toolkit, and explore how it can be used effectively with different audiences.
Speakers: Kerry Seelhoff (BIS), Sarah Pope (Ipsos MORI), Ben Johnson (Graphic Science), Chair: Katherine Mathieson (British Science Association) SCC 2014 - All the fun of festivals combined
Novel approaches to engagement activities that use narrative and immersive environments to create cohesive experiences.
In this session we will share our insights, experiences and learning from some of the unique festival experiences created in 2013 by the Contemporary Science team at the Science Museum. These festivals ranged from narrative driven games to researchers embedded in immersive environments all creating cohesive and memorable experiences. Specific engagement examples will highlight collaborations with research groups, theatre companies and artists. This session is relevant to any organisation, centre or individual looking to engage their audiences through interactive, immersive and theatrical experiences.
Speakers: Nicola Burghall (Science Museum), Daniel Richardson (UCL), John Hunter (non zero one), Chair: Jenny Jopson (Francis Crick Institute)

This document discusses crisis management for events and provides guidance on crisis planning. It notes that the organization plans up to 30 events per year with 100-150 attendees on average. It defines a crisis as a difficult decision that must be made. Effective crisis planning can help avoid and react to problems through contingency planning and learning from other organizations. A crisis plan should outline operational response procedures and communication strategies. The key stages of crisis management include pre-crisis planning to minimize risk, managing the actual crisis by appointing a coordinator and response team, and post-crisis evaluation and communication. Effective communication during and after a crisis is also emphasized.More from British Science Association (20)
