The Good Science Project is delighted to announce its new series of Friday Forums. Friday Forums are congenial in-person lunchtime discussions, with lunch provided, on some topic concerning research culture. They are open to all College members, and are a good opportunity for researchers to step back from their busy day for a short hour, gain new perspectives on their work, and meet researchers from other departments.
The first Friday Forum on October 25th may interest in particular those of you who work with animal models. The second Friday Forum, on November 8th, may interest in particular those of you who seek to make links in your work with the social sciences and the humanities.
