Laura made the difficult decision to leave her cancer research institute to pursue a career in science communications, and the career change opened a wealth of new opportunities and personal accomplishments. Since making this leap, Laura has worked for organisations including Cancer Research UK and the MS Society in communication roles ranging from public health, policy, fundraising, and research.
In her current role as programme lead at Glasgow City of Science and Innovation, Laura describes it as telling a story — a story that puts Glasgow at the centre of science and research and one that she is passionate about telling. Laura's take away message for listeners is that Glasgow can offer a wide breadth of opportunities in science comms and engagement roles.
Listen out for Laura describing her ‘scientific approach to networking’, she felt as a scientist that networking didn’t come naturally to her, so she developed her own step-by-step process for making connection and getting the most out of her professional network.
