In this first event of the S4PG x TFOM series, our invited speakers Dr Merryn McKinnon and Dr Sujatha Raman will introduce the broad and complex concept of science for the public good - what is the public good, and what might this look like in science? How should we measure it? How is this connected across research, policy, and engagement?
The Science for the Public Good x TFOM events are a series of talks and panel discussions demonstrating the use of virtual platforms as interactive and effective venues that scientists can use to engage audiences with their work, especially early career researchers or those disadvantaged by the need to physically travel. These events will be focused on aspects of the broad topic of Science for the Public Good including how this may be interpreted across different fields, academia, industry, and public engagement. There are two main aims of these events: to initiate discussions about what Science for the Public Good may look like and how it can be achieved, and to showcase how mixed reality approaches can improve how we interact and share our research.
