Need to talk about your science, but unsure how?Join Science in Public
for their one-day media training workshop and get some help.
Conveying the complexity of your research, your life’s work, into a
30-second grab for the media can be hard. The solution is to shape the
essence of your science into a story.
Two experienced science communicators will work with you to find the
story in your research. Over the years we’ve helped Monash launch
the world’s first printed jet engine, revealed the loss of half the
coral on the Great Barrier Reef, helped CERN announce the Higgs boson,
and revealed the link between CSIRO’s Wi-Fi patent and Aussie
astronomy.
We will help you find the right words to explain your research in a
way that works for the media, as well as for government, industry and
other stakeholders.
Working journalists from television, print and radio will join us over
the course of the day to explain what makes news for them. And
you’ll get the chance to practice being interviewed in front of a
camera and on tape.
The day’s insights and training will help you feel more comfortable
in dealing with journalists when media opportunities arise.
We can also hold courses in other locations or on other dates. If you
have at least four participants, we can probably find others in your
area to make a course viable.
MEDIA TRAINING COURSES ARE $800 +GST per person, and include lunch,
morning and afternoon tea, and lattes on demand. If you would prefer
for us to invoice you, email Sarah Brooker
at sarah@scienceinpublic.com.au
