As a scientist, I'm interested in media engagement. What free media training opportunities does the Science Media Centre offer? Also, I'd like to understand the Chief Executive's views on science communication, specifically what her book is about and a key policy change she successfully championed.
Navigate to 'sciencemediacentre.org' Go to the 'for scientists' page to find media training opportunities. Navigate to the 'about us' section and then to the 'staff' page. Locate Fiona Fox's biography. Identify the free training events available for scientists. Identify the title and subject matter of Fiona Fox's book. Identify the specific policy change she successfully campaigned for. Synthesize the gathered information into a concise answer.
State that the SMC offers 'Introduction to the News Media' events and 'Impact: Women scientists in the media' communications workshops. State that Fiona Fox's book is 'Beyond the Hype: Inside Science’s Biggest Media Scandals from Cl...' (or 'Beyond the Hype') and is a memoir/manifesto about the SMC's first twenty years and the need to separate scientific research communication from government communications. State that she successfully campaigned for changes to the British Government’s purdah rules, ensuring government-funded scientists are free to speak out during election periods.
