The CICaSS Group enjoy an active and ever- expanding role with Public Engagement and
Outreach activities, including exciting interactions with schools and the public at large.
Most recently (April 2011), Dr Campbell gave the opening keynote lecture to the Scottish Science
Education Conference in Crieff. The title for the talk was 'Bubbleology: The Art Science and
Technology of Bubbles', and focused on the latest findings from our ongoing medical microbubble
programme of research at Dundee. Audience feedback from the talk can be found on page 1
(top) and page 6 (bottom) and 7 of the document at this link, including such comments as 'a
brilliant science communicator' and 'inspirational stuff'. Brian Cox eat your heart out! ho!

Previously (June '08), PC gave the British
Association CREST Researcher in Residence
Lecture to an audience of several hundred
school children. CREST (CREativity in Science
and Technology) is a UK-wide Science,
Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM)
award scheme managed by the BA (British
Association for the Advancement of Science).
Through CREST, young people aged 11-19
explore the real nature of STEM by doing their
own creative mini project challenges.

At present, we have a range of summer interns with the group, including 4 French students
researching on some exotic possibilities for photo-therapy, as well as with our polymer delivery
agent concept also.
Moreover, a new program of school-directed activities, co-ordinated with the assistance of the
IoP, and with the aim of facilitating and hosting Advanced Higher Physics Projects here at the
University, is being launched in the very near future. This follows the incredible success of Megan
Griffiths' AH Project from 2008. More

PC outlined some personal views and experiences on how
getting the right molecules to the right anatomical target, and
at the right time, is the critical problem in drug delivery today.
The talk was attended by around 30 members of the public,
and the ensuing Q & A lasted over 35 minutes, covering such
interesting and involved topics as cancer gene therapy,
biomimetics, and the ethics and policy-making procedures
involved in drug delivery testing in in vivo and clinical scenarios.
