Public Engagement in Science

The Medical Research Council (MRC) is committed to improving the public's understanding of science and to communicate the work of the MRC to those outwith the scientific community. To this end, the Human Genetics Unit has formed a Public Engagement in Science Committee to co-ordinate efforts in this area.
