Cognitive neuroscience of normal and disordered language function

目前，我们通过在同行评审期刊和国内和国际会议上发表研究论文，向临床和学术界交流我们的研究。我们通过在诸如英国科学促进会和英国科学院的公众会议等主要科普会议上发表演讲，使我们的研究更广为人知。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达和处理语言的方式的见解，并且本质上是公共利益的。我们的战略是：向所有可能与记者接触的工作人员提供媒体培训；检查我们即将发表的论文是否有新闻价值；每年最少发出三份新闻稿，介绍最新的CSL调查结果；继续参与科学周活动；尝试每年为我们的主要受众（如言语和语言治疗师、神经科顾问医师、老年学家和代表中风患者的患者组织）在出版物上发表四篇文章；确定并接触2-3名对该领域感兴趣的记者，[如《新科学家》杂志的克莱尔·威尔逊]；改善我们的网站，使其更容易为一般读者使用，并增加更多主要读者访问的网站之间的连结。我们打算在科学传播者Martin Ince的帮助下制定一个新的策略，他的其他客户包括BBSRC、ESRC、AHRB和DTI。他将无偿做这项工作。

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.
