What the Media wants to hear from you

This webinar will explore the kinds of science stories that journalists want to cover, the support and preparation they need from scientists to tell a compelling story, and how to have an effective two-way dialogue to share your science with the wider public. The webinar will also explore the many ways that a researcher might encounter a journalist (through their institution’s press office, through someone reading their preprint, or while presenting/attending a conference) and offer tips on how best to prepare for these media interactions.

The webinar will last one hour, including time for audience questions and answers. Please register using the link below.
