Webinar: A guide to Speaking with Humans, Jan 15
You're a scientist. You know things. You'd like to talk to people about those things. But how? Let's explore the world of science communication together, and find how and where you can fit in best. Maybe it's on social media. Maybe it's blogging or vlogging. Maybe it's talking to journalists.
Maybe it's a book or public speaking. Maybe it's all of the above. As a bonus, we'll discuss how to maintain a public presence without sacrificing your research!
