André Lampe will help you communicating your science: This hands-on workshop has been built around discussions and feedback from a talk at MPIMG several weeks ago and includes results from questionnaires and individual discussions with participants. The topic is not set yet and depends on the input of the participants and could be anything from Social Media to podcasting to scientific stand-up comedy in a pub.

André Lampe will give the participants an introduction to science communication with a focus set by the participants themselves. However, basic tools of science communication will also be discussed, such as finding a core topic for a lecture/video/podcast or other formats. Advantages and disadvantages of different formats will be discussed along with the mechanics and pitfalls of simplifying. This workshop is scheduled for 4h, with a lunch break between 12:00 and 13:00.

Please email gindrat@molgen.mpg.de to register for this course.

Maximum number of participants: 12. Women will have the priority since this workshop is paid by equal opportunity funds.

Please note: Participation in the kick-off event on April 19 is required if you wish to attend this workshop.
