Science Communication Training Series for 3MT: Communicating Research to Broad Audiences

Workshop series: This 3-part workshop series strengthens research communication skills, supporting both broader professional development and preparation for the upcoming 3MT competition. Participants who complete all three sessions will earn a micro-credential in Research Communications. 

This session will help you craft your research story using accessible language to engage non-specialist audience. This workshop will focus on the following:

• Avoiding jargon and communicating research in simple language
• Communicating purpose and impact of research
• Why is your scholarship important? Why should someone care?
