WORKSHOP: Communicating Your Research in a World of Misinformation

WORKSHOP
With the rise of misinformation, it has become harder for many researchers to communicate their work effectively with the public. Distrust in science has been on the rise, and the COVID-19 pandemic has added to the gap between researchers and the public. This transformative workshop is designed to empower researchers with the skills they need to bridge the communication gap and engage with the public meaningfully. Participants learn how to effectively communicate their research, face the rising public distrust in science, and combat misinformation that plagues our world today. The workshop combines hands-on activities, group discussions, and engaging games to help students identify their strengths and expertise. By recognizing and harnessing their unique skills, participants gain the confidence to communicate complex scientific ideas effectively. Through curated games and group activities, participants will develop the ability to connect with diverse audiences, making science accessible to all.
