Dr Elli Wright

Elli has been working as Public Engagement Manager at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) for 8 years following a post-doctoral research career in microbiology. She has recently completed an MSc. in Science Communication at the University of the West of England, where her dissertation was centred on the use of autoethnography as an approach to evaluate the co-creation of a touring pop-up museum between scientists, artists, and the custodians of LSTM’s archives. The pop-up museum is called the Tropical Medicine Time Machine, which transports an audience through LSTM’s history to its present-day work. The Tropical Medicine Time Machine has been developed to celebrate LSTM’s 125th anniversary year and has been funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
