@Cambridge_Fest @CamUniEngage @NCCPE @MRC_Epid @UoMEngage @CamUnivMuseums @CRASSHlive @UofGPE @UCLEngage @QUBEngagement @UCDPublicEngage Absolutely need to do more than clicks & likes. Some great advice from @JamieBGall on identifying interaction points i.e. getting close enough to the public to have an interaction where we could ask a question or can share thoughts & ideas. https://t.co/rqq8o9XEpS

@lucyjspokes @CamUniEngage @NCCPE @MRC_Epid @UoMEngage @CamUnivMuseums @CRASSHlive @UofGPE @UCLEngage @QUBEngagement @UCDPublicEngage Not just a question for online. PEPS can help connect people together - just helping with introductions is a start to kickstarting conversations between researchers & different groups.

@CamUniEngage @NCCPE @MRC_Epid @UoMEngage @CamUnivMuseums @CRASSHlive @UofGPE @UCLEngage @QUBEngagement @UCDPublicEngage Our @FBMH_SR team with public contributors co-designed a hints & tips resource on how to effectively conduct Patient & Public Involvement & Engagement during & beyond the pandemic - https://t.co/Hh1bVqGofq

@CamUniEngage @NCCPE @MRC_Epid @UoMEngage @CamUnivMuseums @CRASSHlive @UofGPE @UCLEngage @QUBEngagement @UCDPublicEngage ... and from the cultural sector, for us at @UoMEngage this includes (but is not limited to) the @McrMuseum @WhitworthArt @jodrellbank

[Dee-Ann Johnson @deeannj]

@CamUniEngage @NCCPE @MRC_Epid @UoMEngage @CamUnivMuseums @CRASSHlive @UofGPE @UCLEngage @QUBEngagement @UCDPublicEngage Was recently in another #Engage2021 session & found it helpful hear shared practice from @sciencecentres & @UKRI_News. Think we can also learn a lot from learned societies like @britsocimm & PPIE groups involved in consortiums like @UKCICstudy

[Dee-Ann Johnson @deeannj]

@CamUniEngage @ItsTheTWC @Cambridge_Fest @NCCPE @BritSciAssoc @SHTMatSurrey @michaelbduignan @JamieBGall @danceprof1 @DisRightsUK @DisabilityCambs @RNIB @scope @mencap_charity Good question - but having to pay in any case (F:F or online) is an accessibility barrier in and of itself.

[Dee-Ann Johnson @deeannj]

@CamUniEngage Hybrid events require more planning, resource, skill, facilitation and a level of 'production' value to ensure some sense of equality of experience whether participants are "in the room"or "in the "zoom"

[Dee-Ann Johnson @deeannj]

@CamUniEngage @NCCPE @BritSciAssoc @SHTMatSurrey @michaelbduignan @JamieBGall @danceprof1 @DisRightsUK @DisabilityCambs @RNIB @scope @mencap_charity We worked with our cultural institutions like @WhitworthArt & @McrMuseum who had already developed relationships w specific communities, who were then able to pivot online. So for some events were were intentionally 'exclusive'.

[Dee-Ann Johnson @deeannj]

@lucyjspokes @CamUniEngage We had a similar experience at Manchester.

[Dee-Ann Johnson @deeannj]

@CamUniEngage @NCCPE @BritSciAssoc @SHTMatSurrey @michaelbduignan @JamieBGall @danceprof1 @DisRightsUK @DisabilityCambs @RNIB @scope @mencap_charity Not so much previously excluded people - but offered people more flexibility in being able to attend a session in between other life happenings. Pre-recorded events meant people could dip in at whatever time/place suited them best, but had the downside of being mostly one way.

[Dee-Ann Johnson @deeannj]

@CamUniEngage @NCCPE @BritSciAssoc @SHTMatSurrey @michaelbduignan @JamieBGall @danceprof1 @DisRightsUK @DisabilityCambs @RNIB @scope @mencap_charity @CamUnivMuseums In person, live stream, pre-recorded

[Cambridge University Public Engagement @CamUniEngage]

Welcome to our #TwitterTakeover for #Engage2021 with @NCCPE.

In the next hour we'll be asking: who are we choosing to exclude from our events post #pandemic?

We may not have the answers. We may find the answers uncomfortable. But we want to learn.

[engagementmanchester @UoMEngage]

Meet Dr Yolanda Ohene (@y_ohene)

Yolanda is a postdoc researcher specialising in developing MRI techniques for neurodegenerative diseases. She’s one of @britsoci 2021 Award Lecturers, recognising her cutting-edge work & commitment to public engagement.

I am lucky to work with many amazing & inspiring people - no doubt Prof @sheencr is one those! Congrats on this well-deserved award!

[The University of Manchester @OfficialUoM]

Congratulations to Professor @sheencr! Her @ConversationUK article, which explores the key factor in severe COVID vulnerability, has won best popular article written by a scientist or engineer #ABSWawards21

[engagementmanchester @UoMEngage]

Day 3 of our Community Festival. Today @McrMuseum take us behind the scenes of the vivarium 🐸🐍 🦎 and @WhitworthArt host an art session inspired by their sculptures 🎨🖌️👩‍🎨
