Several areas of IMS-MRL research are often in the news so we are frequently asked by TV, radio and newspapers for comments or expert opinions. Engaging with local, national and international media is an important way to help keep citizens informed on the latest research. We are also lucky to have several researchers who especially enjoy working with news outlets and using other channels and social media.
