SciComm Conversations

In our second season of SciComm Conversations, we speak with science-communication researchers about their work. In the third episode, we hear from Dr Lynda Dunlop of the University of York, where she is a senior lecturer and Director of Education for Environmental Sustainability at York. Lynda tells us about Game Changers, an interactive live show about climate activism, that was part of Megaverse and was funded by UK Research and Innovation.
