End of workshop
NB As part of the podcasts session, researchers will have the opportunity to film short 3-4 minute
videos about their research with the University of Glasgow Media Team. For those who are happy
with their screen debut, these can then be displayed on the IHW website and shared on social media
to showcase the excellent ongoing research work within the Institute. Guidelines for podcasts will
be circulated ahead of the workshop session.
