André Lampe will show you the hows and whys of institutional science communication – but more importantly, how individual scientists can benefit and participate from engaging with the public. He will highlight opportunities for science communication in the academic routine with some surprising side effects. Some examples: train for your next conference talk at unusual locations, boost the impact of a paper, and influence your field significantly just by teaching students. The talk is intended to kick off a discussion about the topic, so there will be plenty of time for Q&A. [more]
