Dee is looking forward to furthering her science communication skills: "I am a big supporter of events which help break down the communication barriers between scientists and the public. These opportunities are fantastic and I am very grateful to the IBMS for awarding me this bursary. I hope to learn from expert scientific speakers on how to keep an audience engaged when discussing difficult topics. And I look forward to seeing what everyone thinks on how best to communicate science to the public!".
