Ever wanted to see your research in the news? Curious about how to pitch your newsworthy research to your institution’s or university’s press office or PIO? Ever been contacted by a reporter about your exciting results, but didn’t know the next steps or how to communicate effectively?

Attend this workshop to learn the dos and don’ts of communicating with journalists and other media. This hands-on session will provide participants with an overview of how to share your science in an accurate and engaging manner for greater public awareness.

An overview presentation will be capped by mock interviews with other participants acting as ‘journalists’ to give workshop participants an opportunity to test their communication skills. If time allows we will provide some guidance on submitting an Op-Ed to a news outlet.
