About Fiona Veira-McTiernan
I am the Communications and Digital Platforms Associate at FEBS, and I help manage content and use of online platforms and sites such as the FEBS Network, FEBS website and FEBS Congress website, but particularly on the FEBS Network. Previously I have managed the funding programmes of a number of UK research charities, mainly in the field of cancer. I have supported the income generation teams at those organisations with science communication, as well as developed e-learning resources for staff and students at the Institute of Cancer Research. I have a BSc in Biochemistry, an MSc in Nutrition and a Postgraduate Diploma in Dietetics. After years in London I have now moved back to Spain, where I continue to work as a science communicator.

This is great! I didn't know that a network like this existed. Recently I've trying to unite scuba diving with my science formation and maybe this is the place!
That sounds brilliant! I hope you can make it work out.
I'd love to collaborate.
Dear Ekam, I am glad you found this article interesting. I agree, it is a great project! I am sure you can contact one of the project partners via their website, if you want to find out more about their work. All the best!
