Policy Adviser, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
The ESRC Bright Ideas Fellowship allowed me to spend time in
Edinburgh at the Genomics Policy and Research Forum to work on some of the
ethical aspects of data sharing policy and to learn more about the work of
researchers at the Forum and throughout the ESRC Genomics Network.
As policy adviser for a scientific research institute one of
my main tasks is to focus on how science is conducted. Having the opportunity
to discuss my work with Genomics Network researchers from different
disciplines, and to hear about their experiences and current interests, was
very enriching.
I also met students interested in scientific policy and
writers in residence at the Forum, which reminded me again of the importance of
interdisciplinary understanding. Thanks again to everyone involved.
