Educational resources

Science not communicated is science incomplete. Here you will find some inflammation-focused activities and resources.

We believe that everyone benefits when science is shared well.

  • Pupils and teachers gain access to quality resources about possible careers and the fundamentals of research
  • Policy-makers, charities and lobby groups make better decisions about new medical policies and treatments
  • Patients can take part in clinical trials that are clearly explained and designed with them in mind
  • Scientists learn to ask applied research questions which have the most relevance and benefit to the people it could affect

We aim to stimulate interaction between our researchers and the public around the themes, ambitions and ethos underpinning our research.
