Science Together - March 2021 update
What is the latest news on the science engagement programme? Here is an update on our progress and planned next steps...
SeedWISE
SeedWISE is an enterprise programme born out of the success and demand for our flagship enterprise programme for women postdocs; RisingWISE. Specifically aimed at women DPhil researchers, we have taken the core RisingWISE aims and tailored the course for women at this important stage in their careers.
Who Writes the Future
Jacob Ward (formerly Mathematical Institute) worked with the Bodleian Library on the project that aimed to diversify the voices writing the future by inviting young people to collaborate with science and humanities researchers and a ‘writer in residence’.
The Bubble Lab
Shamit Shrivastava (formerly Engineering Science), Kelly Richards and Carly Smith-Huggins (Museum of Natural History) were provided with £13,000 to use the topic of ‘bubbles in action’ (how they can act as a model for cellular mechanics, and be used by biomedical engineering applications) to highlight how science can work beyond disciplinary boundaries, so people see science differently. The project created a pop-up experience in communities in Oxford, targeting young people (10-13) and their families. A free kit of ‘do-at-home’ experiments and investigations was given out, providing a way to connect with researchers, and to visit the Museum of Natural History to share what they’ve learned and discovered.
In Control: By Design
Julien Carponcy (MRC Brain Network Dynamics Unit), Joy Todd (GLAM Division) and Jozie Kettle (Pitt Rivers Museum) were awarded £12,000 to support people with motor-related neurological conditions (such as Parkinson’s, and their families and carers) to work with researchers, engineers, and artists/fashion designers to create their own aesthetically pleasing mobility solutions, and to empower them to manage their day to day lives, inspired and provoked by collections from the Pitt Rivers Museum.

Let's Talk About Climate
Ken Amor and Sarah Lloyd (Museum of Natural History) were awarded £5,000 with the aim of working with year 11 and 12 teenagers to explore the science of the IPCC reports and reinterpret them, with the support of researchers and museum collections and staff, by creating their own ‘report’ (written, video, art or performance), and sharing this report with policy and decision-makers.
MPLS Innovation Leadership Programme (ILP)
Our Innovation Leadership Programme (ILP) is designed for new Lecturers/ Associate Professors/Senior Independent Research Fellows (e.g. Royal Society and UKRI funded Fellows). The Core course is delivered twice yearly by a team from Henley Business School, and separately bookable associated masterclasses take place through Hilary and Trinity Terms.
ILP Optional Masterclass: Shaping research culture: combining openness, collaboration, and innovation to thrive in research - 10am-3pm 14th Feb 2024
Join this in-person workshop, facilitated by Natacha Wilson, to explore the skills and mindsets needed to thrive in research and positively influence your environment. The way we work and interact, with our peers and wider networks, has a huge influence on research outputs and outcomes. Our day-to-day practices directly influence how we, and our colleagues, work in this shared ecosystem.
