Science Advocacy and Communications Seminar
Wednesday, 23 June 2021

Scientists are often asked to explain their work to non-scientific audiences, making effective communication skills essential, particularly when translating complex concepts into lay-friendly language. Researchers need to employ a variety of tactics to build support for evidence-based science, describe progress in the field, and highlight the impact of scientific discovery worldwide. Speakers in this seminar will discuss messages that resonate with policymakers, journalists, and the public, and share insights on how to convey the value of science with less technical audiences.



Date:    23 June, 2021
Time:    12:00 - 13:00 EST 
Where: Virtual
