“Minerva played a vital role in the success of the EU funded PROteINSECT project, one of the first multinational, multidisciplinary projects to investigate the feasibility of insects as a source of protein for animal feed. Not only did Rhonda and her team facilitate timely, effective and pragmatic media coverage throughout, they also organised key project events including a fantastic final project conference that attracted a trans-national audience of interested parties from research, policy, industry and the media. As a research scientist. I learnt a great deal about the significance of science communication and its role in driving real progress. It was an absolute pleasure to work with such a professional and experienced team – thank you Minerva!”
