Science on the Socials: communicating your research to non-academic audiences
During this workshop, Yaz and Benito will share their experiences with creating effective science communication platforms and how/why they use it to share their research with non-academic audiences, alongside completing a PhD. After hearing their advice on how to create engaging yet informative content, participants will be encouraged to communicate their research to a non-expert by creating their own social media post, either in written or video form
