Practical Exploration of Strategies for Improving Science Communication

In situations as diverse as giving a presentation to colleagues, communicating the value of your work to potential funders, or simply telling someone you've just met about what you do, a range of strategies could help improve the effectiveness of your communication.

In this session, we'll introduce several communication strategies designed to enhance audience understanding across a range of purposes, and then try them out.
