This session will introduce the audience to and share our experience working on Kelvin News a project comprising of a web site and magazine run by taught postgraduate students that increases their involvement in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow and provides them with an opportunity to write about physics that interests them.
In the first part we will present the project and focus on the opportunities it provides to develop and enhance students’ graduate skills by getting more involved in the work of the School in ways that the taught masters program might not readily offer. In the second part of the talk we will describe some of the barriers that need to be overcome and conclude with the challenges and rewards stemming from this project. The Q&A part will give an opportunity to the audience to comment and share similar experiences.
