Scientists in person: Live science events (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Fogg-Rogers, L. A. (2016, April). Scientists in person: Live science events. Presented at Science and Technology Education Group, London, UK

We are told that the modern researcher needs to be digitally connected and fluent with communicating online and through the media. Indeed, communicating science to thousands of people has never been easier, and yet, live, in-person, public events sti... Read More about Scientists in person: Live science events.

Science learning through play (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Fogg-Rogers, L. A., & Hobbs, L. (2016, January). Science learning through play. Paper presented at Association for Science Education Conference, Birmingham, UK

Play is frequently associated with ‘just having fun’, giving it a bad reputation amongst learning practitioners. However, neuroscience and psychological research indicates that play is essential for human development and wellbeing. We argue that play... Read More about Science learning through play.

Royal Society scientists in schools (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Fogg-Rogers, L. A., Wilkinson, C., & Weitkamp, E. (2016, January). Royal Society scientists in schools. Paper presented at Association for Science Education Conference, Birmingham, UK

Scientists are increasingly being urged to participate in education outreach programmes as part of the public engagement agenda, to connect society with science and improve attitudes to STEM subjects.
