Conferences
A conference is a unique opportunity for getting your science field into the news media.
You’ve invested time and energy on getting top thought leaders together in place.
We can help you to make the most of it: from putting out a press release and getting the buzz up in the lead-up, to building a conference media room and even organising an outside broadcast on site.
We can also set up and manage conference media centres, with facilities for journalists and media briefings, and put together special media and public events and photo opportunities.
For more information, or help running your conference media email: niall@scienceinpublic.com.au

Fast living killifish reverse muscle wasting. Could we?
Photo credit: Avnika Ruparelia Life’s tough for African killifish. They only live for three to four months. They suffer from the same diseases of old-aging that we do – cancer, short telomeres, and wasting muscles. But in their old age the muscle wasting slows and may even reverse. Could that happen to people as well?…
