Dr Catrin Rutland in the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science first encountered the world of media and outreach through her scientific research. For many years she has undertaken a wide variety of activities related to showing her research to others - from writing magazine and newspapers articles through to giving public talks, undertaking school visits and writing scientific papers for children, she is interested in communicating science far and wide. Her passion for the media has led to her being chosen as Nottingham's latest BSA Media Fellow.
Over the years I have worked with the University of Nottingham media relations team and have developed a love for communicating science. Working with the media in the past has given me an insight into the busy but exciting world but I really wanted to know more.
Get the full story from Catrin about how she has evolved from University researcher to science communicator and her exciting forthcoming summer placement in the busy Sky News newsroom on our News Room blog.
