Please make a drawing of your experience; use our pencils, colouring pens, watercolours to express how you felt or how you are feeling. We are curious to see what could be improved, but also celebrate what went well, so don?t forget to be positive if you had someone exceptional helping you!

Dear SE22 forum, We are two researchers (Dr Emma Gray and Dr Teresa Rodriguez) at the Institute of Psychiatry, Denmark Hill, King's College London. We are going to set up some free science public engagement events for the South London community. Our idea is to set up a Cafe Scientique that will run from the end of Jan 2012 till May 2012 with a series of talks for adults (weeknight evenings) and a series of workshops for the kids (Saturday morning) to engage everyone locally with the research we do here (Neuroscience, Psychology and Psychiatry). In order to prepare our program, especially for the adult sessions, we would like to hear from you. Some areas we can cover are Child Psychology, Eating Disorders, Alzheimer's Disease...Are there any specific subjects you prefer? The idea would be to have a chosen speaker who will talk briefly and in a simple way about a specific subject. The audience can then join and discuss the subject in a non-intimidating environment. We?d love to hear any feedback/comments/suggestions. We will keep you updated on details of the events and when they are arranged. Please, contact us at [email protected]. Best wishes, Emma & Teresa
