SciComm BASICS | A Practical Introduction to Science Communication

A BIGS workshop offered by the Bonn Graduate Center

Making research accessible to people outside your field can serve many goals – you can disseminate your knowledge, contribute to public debates, promote critical thought and encourage interest in your field of study in general. Furthermore, successful communication can help your academic career – and it can be great fun, too.
