Vlog your research abstract

Vlogs are a powerful way to communicate scientific research to broad audiences, through their ability to combine audiovisuals, storytelling, and the relatable ‘human face’ behind the science. Creating video content can be daunting for many scientists, especially those unfamiliar with stepping across the art-science divide. In this short course, we will explore the ingredients of effective vlogs and the practicalities of storyboarding and filming. By the end of the workshop you will have all the tools and inspiration to create your own vlog!
