The British Psychological Society 2013 Public Engagement and Media Award has been given to Chartered Psychologist and BPS Fellow Professor Bruce Hood from the University of Bristol. The Award recognises the work of a psychologist who, either directly or through broadcast and print media, has made an outstanding contribution to raising the profile of psychology with the general public. Upon hearing the news of his award Professor Hood said: “For me, communicating the passion and wonder of the science of the mind is both a worthy and enjoyable pursuit. But to receive this award from the Society for doing so, makes me all the more satisfied and happy that I am doing the right thing. Professor Hood was nominated due to his extensive research on the mind and brain being the basis of numerous public lectures, appearances in the media and three popular science books. Since 2006 he has spoken at events from Cafe Scientifiques, local pubs, local and international science festivals to one of the pinnacles of science communication the Royal Institution 2011 Christmas Lectures ‘Meet your brain’.
