National Storytelling Week celebrates the tradition of storytelling and aims to inspire a new generation of storytellers to educate, entertain, and engage as their forebears have been […]
Research Outreach – Issue 136: Private messages, browning vegetables, and unnecessary organs
Research Outreach Issue 136 has a wide range of thought-provoking articles that reveal the scope of research in the modern world. Ranging from the genomic editing of eggplant to an ongoing debate about the significance of an organ inside the human nose, the research featured in this month’s publication will surely have something for everyone. We were privileged to speak […]
Research Outreach – Issue 137: Transgressive poets, chronic pain, and self-assembling nanomaterials
Research Outreach Issue 137 continues to showcase the intriguing work being carried out by researchers across all disciplines from the evolution of hair to building a more effective acoustic computer, as well as a study into why women experience more chronic pain than men. We also spoke with Kai Sicks, Secretary General at the German Academic Exchange Service, about the […]
Research Outreach – Issue 138: Trojan horses, capitalist utopias, and a fuzzy future
Our most recent issue of Research Outreach brings together a diverse array of subjects at the forefront of academic research. We showcase the FMsquare Foundation, an organisation that aims to spread the holistic values of ‘fuzzy logic’, as well as tracking the BEST lines for surgeons to follow to reduce post-operative scarring. New approaches to geological modelling may lead to […]

The Open Notebook and the art of science journalism
The importance of quality science journalism has been widely recognised throughout the long months of the COVID-19 pandemic. What is less frequently discussed is the unique skillset that is required to undertake this vital form of translation: ensuring that the complexity of cutting-edge research is communicated in such a way that it remains exciting, accurate, and digestible. The Open Notebook […]
