Nowadays as researchers we are increasingly expected to communicate our science to a wider audience, to engage in dialogue with citizens and other actors, or pitch our research for funding to a non-specialist audience. Science communication is an integral part of our responsibility to society. As with any skill, practice makes perfect—and progress is faster when we share our experiences. This is what we do at the Science Communication Club!
On Wednesday 2 July during lunch time dr. Clara Stegehuis will talk about her experiences with giving guest lectures on mathematics for kids of 13 to 15 years old. Clara also wrote blogs for Faces of Science. Dr. Ruud Jacobs will explain more about conspiracy theories. How can we as researchers deal with that?
The meeting is in the Langezijdsbuilding room LA 2310, during lunch time from 12:30 - 13:30 hours.
