Welcome to the ICaMB<\/a> Blog!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the most important things we need to do as scientists is communicate, both with each other and with people outside academia and research.\u00a0 To help this, we will be starting a range of new, interconnected social media activities in ICaMB.\u00a0 In addition to this blog, we now have a Facebook page<\/a> and regular updates on ICaMB activities via Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here, we hope to have contributions not only from academics in ICaMB but also from our students, postdocs and other key members of the Institute, as well as\u00a0 some guest bloggers.\u00a0 We plan to have regular blog articles appear every two weeks but this will be supplemented with the thoughts and opinions of a range of contributors as well as updates on events as they happen.<\/p>\n

Our plan is to inform but also hopefully entertain.\u00a0 We will highlight some of the great research that is going on in ICaMB but also discuss some of the important issues that affect all of us as scientists.\u00a0 We will value your contributions so if you have something you would like to say, please get in touch<\/a>!<\/p>\n

This is an exciting time in ICaMB.\u00a0 Although we, like everyone else, are having to weather the economic storm, there is also plenty of great science being performed and new initiatives that make this a great place to work and perform research. The new ICaMB postdoc (IPA)<\/a> and postgraduate student (PANIC)<\/a> associations will provide a new voice for some of our most important members of staff. We also have the new IRES<\/a>, Independent Researcher Establishment Scheme that will bring new principal investigators and ideas to the Institute (more on this later).<\/p>\n

Check out the Facebook<\/a> pages for photos<\/a> of ICaMB activities and scientists.\u00a0 Feel free to contribute your own (embarrassing photos of Professors are always welcome). Check out Twitter<\/a> for all the latest up to the minute information and news about ICaMB activities. We hope you will enjoy reading this blog.<\/p>\n

Please join in and tell us what you are thinking!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
