Jon Urch's profile
What I do
I am responsible for developing outreach events which engage the public and researchers from the Univeristy of Dundee.
In partnership with the Sensation team I host events that promote the public understanding of science and have additional education value.
I work closely with the Generic Skills team at the University of Dundee to provide high quality communication skills training to postdoctoral staff and early career researchers.

Interests
I am interested in improving science communication skills and opportunites for science communication for all researchers.
I would like researchers to communicate their work to all sections of the community e.g. focusing on reaching groups in communities that historically are not engaged by current outreach activities.
Projects
I am currenty co-ordinating the Sharing Science programme which gives researchers at the University of Dundee and Edinburgh the opportunity to discuss their work with visitors at two science centre’s – Our Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh and Sensation in Dundee.
