ONLINE MINI LECTURES

Coinciding with the launch of the executive course, we offer our members to join a series of mini-lectures.

Each bite-sized lecture is carefully designed to offer an overview of effective science communication and ways to deliver and promote science content to different audiences.

Topics

• Why is Science Communication Important?
• Designing a Science Experience
• Defining Stakeholders and Audiences
• Science in Different Contexts
• Evaluating Science Activities

People who are interested in becoming effective communicators in the biotech industry, science organizations, universities, museums, NGOs, and the media are welcome to join.
