Delighted to have been invited to contribute to the panel discussion on the online day of the International Conference of Three Societies on Literature and Science, on ‘Literature and Science: The State of the Field’, hosted by John Holmes and chaired by Lara Choksey, discussing with the Founding Chair of BSLS, Alice Jenkins, and Lecturer in Science Communication, Meghan Judge. Great to deliberate on challenge-led funding and on how the humanities can influence policy.
