Science communication webinars

Learning to science means learning to communicate it​

Getting comfortable with Talking about research

Seminars to get better at talking about your research

Developing science communication skills should be part of every researcher’s training. I give science communication seminars & webinars talking about strategies based on scientific research and my own experiences.

Who are science communication seminars & webinars for?

  • Research group leaders who want to improve their lab members’ outreach skills
  • Lecturers preparing students to communicate science as part of their university course
  • Organisations focusing on science communication or science careers outside of academia

Science communication webinars I have given

Title slide of the webinar on science communication careers by Dr Sarah Wettstadt
In a webinar organised by Biobattalion, I talked about my journey into science communication and why I left academia.
In the video series STEMterviews, I interview STEM professionals about their research projects and scicomm initiatives.

What do others think about my science communication webinars?

First of all, we would like to thank you a lot for your prompt email responses, support and full co-operation during the event. Sarah, as we came to know through her blog posts in 'Bacterial World' is by far one of the most passionate science communicators and writers we have met. Her ability to write scientific concepts and facts into easily understandable laymen language was the primary reason we found to invite her for a cience communication webinar. It is indeed great to see her contributions as the Director of MicroComms on educating people about the need to speak about microbes, and also as the co-founder of STEMcognito, a platform that hosts STEM related videos. Thank you Sarah, for introducing us to STEMcognito. In short, we are really happy and delighted to have her with BioBattalion and would really look forward to having more discussions and collaborations with her in future as well. All the best for your future endeavours.
