Public engagement
Members of the Integrative Cancer Epidemiology Programme engage with members of the public to share their research and benefit from others' insights. They encourage lively discussion about their research methods and findings through a programme of activities in partnership with schools, community groups and festivals, including the FUTURES festival, We the Curious science centre, and Einstein’s Garden at the Green Man Festival.
ICEP members have also made films and animations to share their research findings with the public. Some of these are on the right - please take a look!
ICEP researchers really enjoy meeting school students and community groups (virtually, at the moment). If your school or group is interested in starting a conversation, please contact Siân Harris to discuss possibilities.
Helping the public explore key health questions
‘What do you think is most important for our health – our genetics or the environment we live in; nature or nurture?’
This was a key question posed to members of the public as part of a roundtable discussion on the topic of “Inherited Health” as part of the 2022 FUTURES public engagement festival.
