Science Communication: Impact Beyond Publication - Part -2

DBT/Wellcome Trust India Alliance (India Alliance) organised an Online Workshop on ‘Science Communication: Moving Beyond Publication’, for students and researchers in Life Sciences in India. This workshop highlighted the need for communicating science to non-experts and its value. The workshop was divided into two sessions where the trainers discussed the craft of writing and speaking about science to a non-specialist audience and how researchers can use this skill to increase the visibility and impact of their research:

Session 2: Communication Skills for Researchers
Effective use of science communication for career progression
How and when to disseminate your research—media perspectives
In this session, attendees learnt how science communication can be used as an opportunity to advance their own career and interests. This session helped attendees understand how to become better communicators for interviews and give a great science talk. Participants also learnt how and when to reach out to the media to communicate research to the public and how media exposure can eventually lead to more collaborations and funding.
