Abstract for the conference program
Science Communication has come a long way in recent years, however, researchers still struggle with making their research relevant, interesting and accessible to the general public. This session will look at the ways science (and research in general) is communicated and provide some tips on helping researchers communicate more effectively including audience participation, humor, and formative assessment. Session is focused on researchers but is relevant to post-secondary education and K12 educators as well.
