We are now accepting abstract submissions for ‘The Professor Patrick Johnston IACR award for excellence in cancer research outreach’ at the IACR 2020 meeting.
This IACR initiative is aimed at junior members (PhD students and early stage post-docs (≤3 years)) to recognise the importance of science communication to the public.
This award is in memory of Professor Patrick Johnston who was a great advocate for clear communication with patients, something that he would also transfer to his trainees.
We are now accepting abstract submissions to be short-listed for this award.
