Why & how to communicate Science?
As a young scientist, you are busy conducting experiments, analyzing data, and much more to get your Master’s, Ph.D. thesis, or your following publication done. So why worry about another task: communicating your research to an audience that goes beyond your peers? We will discuss the reasons that might motivate an engagement and how science communication best works, especially with non-experts.
