(Krishna, 2014 ). For instance, associations for science were formed in South Africa (1902), India (1912), Japan (1925) and Argentina (1933) in the early part of the twentieth century. More broadly, increasing numbers of societies and journals emerged that were dedicated to particular research specialisations, and even within these, subjects were further divided and fragmented (Knight, 2009 ). Thus, increasingly communication was becoming more distinct in its appeal and distinctions between populariser and professional grew in significance. By the turn of the
surveys ask people about naturally align to locations for the communication of research. Whilst a number of the studies undertaken by individual countries do not allow for direct comparison of rates of participation, primarily due to their methodological variations, there are some general trends which are worthy of note. Schuster ( 2007 ) highlights these trends across participation studies from thirty-five different countries including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Japan and Brazil. Firstly, whilst activities like going to the cinema, reading and

To provide one example, the HapMap community engagement project in Japan, which sought to develop a culturally sensitive understanding of people’s perspectives on issues associated to the human genome, faced constraints due to a widespread assumption that its
archive has collected together photographs, maps and historical information and is working with high school students to collect the memories of survivors of the atomic bomb (in Japanese). This project combines these individual voices with historical research to create an archive that provides both a single, overarching digital story as well as poignant individual stories. Carmen’s story and the Nagasaki archive are both similar and different. Both offer personal insights and both tell a story. The linear story that Carmen presents allows limited interactivity (you can
, criminal record checks or qualifications you may need. The United Kingdom has a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, while there is a Certified Criminal Record Check in Canada and a Police Certificate in Japan, so check your local requirements. In some settings it may be the case that you are told that a person with appropriate responsibility, like a teacher, will also be present, meaning that you don’t have to undergo one of these types of check. If that is what you have been told, make sure that it happens. It’s easy for people to forget and slip out to catch up
