We currently communicate our research to the clinical and academic community through research papers in peer-reviewed journals and national and international conferences. We make our research more widely known to the general public by contributing talks to major popular scientific meetings such as the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and public meetings at the British Academy. At a local level we have participated in the well-attended Cambridge Science Week, and have given talks at primary schools. However, this is an area where we intend to be substantially more proactive in the future. Our work provides insights into the way the brain represents and processes language, and is inherently of public interest. Our strategy will be: To provide media training to all staff who might be in contact with journalists; To examine all our forthcoming papers for newsworthiness; To issue a minimum of three press releases a year on new CSL findings; To continue to be involved in Science Week activities; To attempt to place four articles a year in publications for our key audiences [eg speech and language therapists, consultant neurologists, gerontologists, and patient organisations representing people who have had strokes]; To identify and approach 2-3 journalists with an interest in this field, [eg Clare Wilson at the New Scientist]; To improve our web site, making it more accessible to a general audience and adding more links to and from sites visited by our key audiences. We intend to develop a new strategy with the help of Martin Ince, a science communicator whose other clients include BBSRC, ESRC, AHRB and the DTI. He will do this work pro bono.

我们目前通过在同行评议期刊以及国内和国际会议上发表的研究论文，向临床和学术界传达我们的研究成果。我们通过在英国科学促进会和英国科学院的公开会议上发表演讲，使我们的研究更广泛地为公众所知。在地方一级，我们参加了参加人数众多的剑桥科学周，并在小学进行了演讲。然而，这是一个我们打算在未来更加积极主动的领域。我们的工作提供了对大脑表示和处理语言的方式的洞察，并且本质上是公共利益的。我们的战略将是：为所有可能与记者接触的工作人员提供媒体培训；审查我们即将发表的所有论文的新闻价值；每年至少发布三份关于CSL新发现的新闻稿；继续参与科学周活动；尝试每年在出版物上发表四篇文章，面向我们的主要受众[例如，言语和语言治疗师、神经病学家顾问、老年病学家和代表中风患者的患者组织]；确定并接触2-3名对这一领域感兴趣的记者[例如，《新科学家》的克莱尔·威尔逊]；改进我们的网站，使其更容易被普通受众访问，并增加与我们主要受众访问的网站的更多链接。我们打算在马丁·因斯的帮助下制定一项新的战略，马丁·因斯是一名科学传播者，其其他客户包括BBSRC、ESRC、AHRB和DTI。他将无偿地做这项工作。
