Hi, This is Clare Walton's wikipedia page.

I work for the Stroke Association, the UK's national charity dedicated to fighting stroke. As the Research Communications Officer I try to stay on top of the latest stroke research so that I can help to keep our information updated, accurate and accessible for all.

My background is in basic research but I have managed to nurture my passion for education and science outreach in my spare moments. I have a PhD in Cellular Neuroscience from the Rockefeller University in New York and an Undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from the University on Oxford. I really enjoy enthusing others with science and have experience communciating about research to a range of audiences.


 * I co-founded and taught at a summer school to teach neuroscience to high school students in the New York City


 * I have been an instructor on the awesome Biobus teaching microbiology to students of all ages


 * I have volunteered in the Education department at the American Museum of Natural History


 * I have taught hands-on science activities to 5-8 year olds at the SciTech Summer Academy
