As scientists, we inherently understand the importance of our work, focusing on the experimental and analytical methods to explain the natural world or to answer policy questions. But, we often get stuck explaining the finer details of our research — which is not the best way to draw interest from public stakeholders.

Designed for students and professionals in the sciences who are new to scicomm or need a refresher, this workshop will help you find ways to communicate the big-picture implications of your work in a relaxed, relatable manner that connects with your audience.

Using our Connecting with Your Audience Worksheet, you'll get the chance to refine your talking points into clear, concise briefings tailored for specific audiences — from journalists to policymakers to industry investors.

When you successfully connect with your audience, you can help inform their decisions, inspire their curiosity, and broaden their understanding of the natural world around them. Begin exploring your scicomm practice today — and help amplify the impact of your research tomorrow!
