About Us
Research the Headlines addresses the way in which research is discussed and portrayed in the media. Each post will take recent media coverage of a piece of research as a starting point, and will allow readers to get to a better understanding of what was really done, and what it might mean for them, from an expert but independent position. The blog is intended to be of interest to those with and without any training in research.
The contributors to Research the Headlines are all current or former members of the Royal Society of Edinburgh‘s Young Academy of Scotland. They represent a broad and multidisciplinary group of individuals, coming from the disciplines of science and the humanities, the professions, the arts, business and civil society.
