Effective science communication is an essential skill that helps researchers connect with the public, funding bodies, and decision-makers — but it’s rarely taught during formal academic training. This interactive workshop will provide practical guidance on how to craft compelling messages for the media, write engaging press releases, and prepare for live and pre-recorded interviews. Participants will also learn how to collaborate with institutional media teams, pitch articles to platforms like The Conversation, and use social media to boost the visibility of their research. The workshop is suitable for students, early-career researchers and senior academics alike. The workshop will be facilitated by Adele Pentland (Curtin University) and Sally Hurst (Macquarie University), both Superstars of STEM with extensive experience in public engagement and media communication.Workshops will be filled on a first come basis.
