Stories About Science: Exploring Science Communication and Entertainment Media
4-5 June 2015
Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, University of Manchester

This Wellcome Trust-funded two-day symposium brings together scholars from across disciplines to explore the communication of science through entertainment media in order to uncover new ways of approaching, understanding, and theorizing about this topic. Our exciting range of speakers will explore science communication and entertainment media from a variety of disciplinary and global perspectives as it is practiced and experienced by a diverse array of publics. Plenary speakers include science consultant Kevin Grazier (Gravity; Battlestar Galactica; Defiance) and television creator/producer Stephen Gallagher (Eleventh Hour; The Forgotten; Silent Witness). The full programme can be found here: http://thescienceandentertainmentlab.com/stories-about-science/
