Chaired by Professor Iain Stewart, a highlight of the event will be a keynote talk by Claire McNulty, Senior Director at National Geographic, sharing her insight on the art of storytelling for science.This will follow with an exhibition of the Creative Associate award winners to celebrate their project successes, displaying how they’ve used a variety of media such as film, photography, animation, illustration, poetry, digital 3D visualisation and more to present research in a new, interesting way.
