APS610 Science Communication for Researchers

Aims/Description: This module provides training in the skills and approaches necessary to effectively communicate science. The module has three main components: 1. An intensive science communication workshop focusing on interactions with the print and broadcast media; 2. A poster presentation, where students design and produce a poster to communicate their research project to a target audience (e.g. general public, research audience); 3. A formal oral presentation, where students present their research results to their peers.
