Global Food Security and COVID-19

If your research is helping to tackle any aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact, please get in touch with Jacqueline Garget, Communications Manager for Biological Sciences Research at jg533@cam.ac.uk to discuss potentially promoting it. The Research Communications team in the University’s Office of External Affairs and Communications has been working hard this year writing articles to promote the University of Cambridge’s COVID-19-related research, and researchers, to the outside world. Many of these articles have led to national and international media coverage for the researchers in newspapers, websites, on radio and TV, and are helping to inform discussions to make progress in tackling the pandemic.
