I have always loved science and manage to combine two of my passions by teaching Science Communication.

This subject examines the ways science and scientists can engage with the wider community (and vice-versa). I teach broadcast science on a Masters degree in Science Communication at Bristol University/UWE (Bristol Sci Comm); a diploma in Science Communication at Birkbeck College London (Birkbeck)(where I am also course director for the second year). I also regularly teach communication skills to scientists at Imperial college, London and at the Gulbenkian Institute in Lisbon.

Malcolm has a key role in ‘Famelab’ – a national competition (arising from the Cheltenham Science Festival) to find the UK’s best new talent in science communication. www.famelab.org. Malcolm organises the Famelab masterclass which he runs with his friend and colleague Kathy Sykes - (professor of public engagement of science at Bristol University).
