The Beckley Foundation in the Media

The Beckley Foundation has often been approached to do a piece for a newspaper or the television. Until recently, we have avoided any such publicity, but now feel that raising public awareness of the potential and importance of the areas in which the foundation works could be of great benefit to furthering both the scientific and policy research. We have therefore engaged with a number of journalists and broadcasters, the results of which can be seen below:
