education, training and communication for scientists

 

At Science etc, we deliver individually-tailored, flexible and cost-effective education and training about science and for scientists. From short stand-alone pieces of e-learning or one-to-one coaching through to lectures and multi-session courses. Further information about courses, examples of e-learning materials and previous projects are available.

Complex concepts are explained in an engaging and entertaining manner. The material is pitched appropriately for the target audience. We are experienced in delivering courses to doctors, nurses, alternative health practitioners, clinical scientists, undergraduate and postgraduate students and academic research scientists.

Careful and thoughtful design means that we choose from a range of approaches to find the most suitable solution including lectures in person or online, hands-on workshops, interactive online questions or animations to explain and entertain.
