Connecting With Science

“Genomics is revolutionising health research, but is also a deeply personal science, relevant to us all.”

Dr Julian Rayner, Director, Connecting Science.

Staff at the Wellcome Genome Campus are supported to connect the public with their science. Researchers are involving a wide variety of people with genomics, from workshops with school children to lab tours for local families to evening talks on the latest ethical issues in genomics.

Staff are recognised every year for their achievements. In 2019 four awards were given – watch the video below to find out more about the Public Engagement Project Prize.
