Summary
I believe that sharing the love of microscopes and imaging, can inspire people to see the art in science, and the need for supporting scientific research.
As well as working to support the annual CCI imaging workshop with the rest of the CCI team, since 2018 I have taken a more active role in other areas of outreach and external engagement, and I am looking forward to planning and taking part in many more public engagement events in the future.
