New frontiers await scientists in every field of research, whether on land, under sea, or in space.

From our origins as humans to the origins of our Solar System, from species’ interactions in an ecosystem to Earth’s interaction with the Sun, from climate change to the possibility of life elsewhere in the Universe, sheer curiosity and passion for knowledge will always keep us at the cutting edge of exploration.

FameLab asks…how are you exploring Earth and beyond?

As a specialist in the public engagement of science Malcolm runs workshops in the UK and internationally, helping scientists and engineers to better engage with the media and the public. Malcolm conducts media interviews and chairs events.

He was a coach and (along with Prof Robert Winston) a permanent panel member for the selection of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council’s (EPSRC) Senior Media Fellows programme. He is an associate lecturer in ‘Broadcast Science’ part of a Masters degree course in Science Communication (University of West of England, Bristol).

He is chief trainer for ‘Famelab’ and ‘Famelab International’ running master classes in public communications. Famelab is a competition that encourages and trains scientists to be better communicators. The competition originated at the Cheltenham Science Festival and has now extended (via the activities of the British Council) to 26 countries and organisations around the world.
