Event Title: 
Effectively Communicating Your Science

CaSTL Center will be hosting a seminar given by the famous Jean-luc Doumont. 

 

Nonscientists often see science as impenetrable and scientists as unsociable introverts hiding

in labs. In turn, researchers wonder how they could possibly explain their work in a clear yet scientifically

correct way to people outside their own field.  This lecture explores the challenges of communicating science

to nonscientists (and, to a point, to fellow scientists as well) and proposes strategies that help overcome these

challenges.
