WORKSHOP: Tell me, what do you do? Elevator Pitch Workshop

WORKSHOP
The session will emphasise how everyone should master the art of introducing themselves and communicating their work through compelling "elevator pitches" that can transform a brief encounter, like a grocery store conversation, into a moment of genuine connection and curiosity. The key lies in balancing technical expertise with authentic enthusiasm, that showcases both your humanity and passion for your research in a way that makes complex scientific concepts accessible and intriguing to diverse audiences. The session will describe how to adapt your communication style, starting with broad, relatable concepts that spark interest in casual settings, then seamlessly shifting to more technical details when engaging with specialized audiences, all while maintaining the personal connection that makes science feel approachable, exciting and even transformative.
