In this episode we talk to Dr David Schultz, Atmospheric Scientist and
author of Eloquent Science. He shares some of his own public engagement
experiences and lessons learned. His top tips? You are speaking to an
audience you are not doing this for yourself,
you really need to address their concerns. Draw from your own
experience – stories, analogies, facts that really show the audience
that you have some personal insight into the research problem. Interact
and involve the audience – ask questions, challenge them,
leave them thinking about how they can apply what you have said to
their own lives. And finally be enthusiastic and have fun – if you
aren't expressing your excitement about your work the audience will pick
that up. Junkcast Episode 10: Transcript The transcript for this episode of the Junkcast is attached as a word document in the attachments section at the bottom of this post. |
