The power of light to change your world for good
Dr Shelley James

Curating

I am passionate about the value of interdisciplinary collaboration and have led public engagement projects for over 30 years, starting with my work as a consultant for global brands including Visa International and Sony Ericsson. I now work with selected sponsors to build strategic partnerships between manufacturers and regulators, scientists and students, media partners, end-users and members of the public.

Recent projects include hosting the Drivers for Change panel debates, curating the International Day of Light Celebrations  and global social media campaigns:- the Luna campaign that reached over 2.5 million teens, and the Luna Pro campaign that connected with over 10,000 professionals and counting. I also curate a weekly newsletter round up of the latest science papers and light-related discoveries that have caught my eye.

Get in touch if there’s a project you’d like to talk about – or just to say ‘hi’!
