EdinCell  is a new Science Communication project in the University of Edinburgh, funded by the Edinburgh Beltane Beacon for Public Engagement.

        The aim of EdinCell is to improve the communication of our Research in Genetics and Cell Biology to the public and media. 

        Our resources are organised around themes.

 

Resources for each theme will include:

• General Fact Sheets: learn about the subjects of our research and their relevance to you .
• Activities for the classroom: in collaboration with teachers we are trying to develop links with the School Curriculum.
• An archive of pictures, movies and activities.
• Links to our research projects and their relevance to the general public.

        Life of a Cell

Learn about the History of Biological Research in Edinburgh, the scientists, their stories and anecdotes.

 

        Meet the Scientist

Would you like to know more about our scientists and their research projects? Why is their work important to you? Why did they become scientists? In this section we hope that you will find answers to some of these questions.

 

        Art-Science Projects.

We are collaborating with artists to find new ways  communicate Science. Find out more about our projects in this section.
