Matthew is really good at this stuff. It's so easy to overlook, but vital for great #SciComm #PublicEngagement
When it comes to #SciComm, good health and safety management enables exciting content and engagement. Whatever the hazard(s), big or small, I support production teams, presenters and exhibitors with H&S and risk assessments, enabling them to shine and inspire.
