Working Lunches focus on the practical issues affecting science communicators today.  The lunches provide opportunities for professional science communicators from a range of backgrounds to develop their skills.  By networking and sharing good practice at the lunches, science communicators enhance their knowledge of current developments in public engagement and dialogue.
