Here at Research Outreach we are passionate about communicating science to the wider society. This issue we feature some of the pioneers driving the latest exciting discoveries and innovations in science and technology.

Non-profit organisation COMPASS believes that strategic communication is critical for a future in which both people and nature survive and thrive. We speak to Executive Director Amanda Stanley to find out more about their mission to build a cross-discipline community of researchers working to change the world.

Science Talk brings together science communicators from all walks of life and backgrounds. Research Outreach met with Science Talk President Allison Coffin who explains how her organisation is bringing scientists together in new ways to create a community of communicators who hope to change the world.

Sit back and delve deep. We hope you enjoy this issue of Research Outreach as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together.
