*****************************************************************************
As part of Sciencenetwork WA (www.sciencewa.net.au <http://www.sciencewa.net.au> ) Scitech has an Ambassadors for Science program. Twice a year we bring about 100 scientists together to hear from eminent speakers about how to communicate with the public and the media.
In recent times we have had the editor of Cosmos Magazine, Wilson D'Silva,(http://www.cosmosmagazine.com <http://www.cosmosmagazine.com> ) and also the PR Manager of a number of Cooperative Research Centres, Dr Julia Cribb who runs Science Alerts (www.sciencealert.com.au).
Last month we also handpicked 30 local scientists and took them to our State Parliament to interact with Politicians in a number of forums. Prior to the event we provided a series of briefings on what to say and what not to say!

There's more about Beryl's work at the MIT Museum, the Exploratorium's
postdocs, and other ways science centers engage with scientists (who aren't
on staff already, that is) in the current issue of ASTC Dimensions, "The
Engaged Scientist: Fostering Successful Museum-Researcher Collaborations."
We'll also be running a discussion next week in a new ASTC Connect forum,
Working with Scientists & Engineers - the first of a planned series. You can
find ASTC Connect at astc.org/astc_connect.
We're posting announcements about ASTC Connect events and other news on the
recently opened ASTC blog - you can find feeds on the main page of the site
and by following the link to "read more..."
