Science Media Centre
The Science Media Centre (SMC) is an independent press office for science, providing the national news media with access to the best science when stories hit the headlines. There are relatively few veterinary scientists and experts on the SMC list, so do consider signing up. The SMC is completely independent (it has a wide range of funders) and gives excellent support and training to those who sign up to its database.
