Science Communication – Presenting Science to the Public – In-person event

In this workshop, you will train to present your research to the public in a clear and concise manner.

Veranstaltungsdaten

Presenting to the public differs greatly from presenting to your fellow scientists. If you have to convince an interdisciplinary review panel to grant your proposal, want to gain support for a new project, or present your work to the general public you will have to change your game.

In this workshop, you'll learn what makes a presentation effective, learn about comprehensibility, and tailor your message to a specific audience. You will learn about your strengths and weaknesses and also have the opportunity to work on a specific presentation.

Intended Learning Outcomes

By the end of this workshop, you will

• Know what distinguishes a comprehensible text from an incomprehensible one,
• Know how to write for listeners instead of readers,
• Are able to transform a scientific lecture into an interesting presentation for an audience outside your field of expertise, and
• Have improved your individual presentation style.

Presentations, analysis of best and worst practice examples, individual and group work
