2020 events

In February, we supported the FameLab science communication training for early career researchers.

The science communication workshop was based on improvisational theatre games underpinned by the latest communication research.

The training covered how to:

  • identify the components of a ‘story’
  • convey complex scientific information in an engaging manner using real world examples and language appropriate for a general public audience
  • apply strategies and techniques to convey the story or  the ‘so what’ of their research
  • apply the techniques to support their FameLab video submission and media interviews.
  • Each of our Queensland semi-finalists offered us something interesting and exciting to learn. Here are a few highlights from their presentations.
