Feature Story
Dr Jean Fleming
Jean Fleming is enjoying her new role as a science communicator at the University of Otago. It has been a steep learning curve, but this old dog has definitely learnt some new tricks! The Centre for Science Communication (www.sciencecommunication.info) is now up and humming, with over 50 MSciComm students in the three streams of film-making, creative non-fiction book writing and popularizing science. Jean is also a staff member in the Department of Anatomy & Structural BIology, where she is establishing new research directions and contributing to the teaching of the first year Health Science students.
