Public communications are a hugely important part of a scientist’s job. Open access research, transparency about how taxpayers’ money is being spent on research, and the need to inspire the next generation are all reasons for some form of public engagement.
In this seminar, we will hear why engagement with the media is an important tool in a scientist’s portfolio to drive the narrative, educate the public, and create impact using their research and expertise.
