Science Communication Training for Talking and Listening – – Being interviewed Workshop
Steven Miller, Blanka Jergovic, Kajsa-Stina Magnusson, 23 views

This practical workshop will introduce trainees to the demands of broadcasters interviewing researchers about their work. A short lecture will explain, with examples, how the broadcast media cover science, technology and medicine, and how to explain clearly and simply the main points of research findings. Participants will then be interviewed (and recorded), and will be given feedback on the final recordings.

 

Participants will need to be registered for this workshop. It will be very useful if participants can bring with them a short (one-page maximum) article or description of their work suitable for a non-specialist audience. This workshop is an example of the activities of ESConet Trainers (www.esconet.org).
