The scientific process is not just about generating ideas; it is about freely sharing those ideas with the broader world. Now, more than ever, the ability to recruit students, attract colleagues, garner attention, and secure funding is tied to your ability to successfully communicate the results of your work, both to peers and to the general public.
Communications expert Tim Miller has spent his career helping scientists and students bring their work out of the laboratory and share it with broader audiences. For a variety of reasons, communicating your research with nonexperts is an important skill. In this session, you will learn the fundamentals of sharing science as Miller explains how to choose the very best tools to do the job of communication, and reveals some of the tips and tricks that can help you take your scientific presentations to the next level.
Tim is a freelance developer in the Informal Science Education industry, specializing in live public interactions. He was worked with museums, science centers, and research laboratories across the country, helping bring the products and the process of science to a broad public audience. His background includes formal training in theater and public speaking, and he holds degrees in Physics and Engineering.
