How can you make your research as exciting as Netflix?
Scientists are used to present their work to their peers and scientific community. But the often lack skills to present to other audiences, users of their applied findings, founders and grant agencies. You will learn how to use storytelling and new presentation formats to communicate your research confidently to various audiences.
You will explore how turning your research into Pecha Kucha (20 images in 20 seconds), Lightning Talk (your research in 180 seconds), Instagram story, TV news or a TV show can help you gain empathy for your audience and hone your storytelling skills.
By focusing on the audience and being sensitive to what they care about you will explore how to present scientific findings in a compelling and understandable way. We will also address the challenges and opportunities of remote presentations to help you impress any Zoom audience.
