Science ATL Communication Workshops and Fellowships are designed to help close the communication gap between scientists and the public.
SCIENCE COMMUNICATION WORKSHOPS
Science ATL Science Communication training aims to narrow the communication gap between scientists and the public. These workshops introduce communication science and strategies to prepare academics and researchers to more effectively present their scientific research and ideas in public settings.
While workshops can be designed to meet the unique needs of your audiences, topics typically covered include:
• Principles central to effective public science communication
• Importance of narrative in communication
• Understanding your audience
• Tips and strategies to be more effective in your written and verbal communications
