Presentation
Science communication is an important part of our job as scientists, and popular science offers opportunities for sharing scientific understanding with a wider audience. As a bonus, the process of writing can also lead to new insight and inspiration for our own research. In this talk, we will discuss some useful tools for writing texts that people will read and remember.
Speaker

She has written two popular science books and regularly gives popular science talks to a wide range of audiences. She also teaches the course MNKOM9010 - Communicating Science.

About the seminar series
Once a month, dScience will invite you to join us for lunch, soft drinks and professional talks at the Science Library. In addition to these, we will serve lunch to PhD candidates in our lounge in Kristine Bonnevies hus every Thursday. Due to limited space (40 people), this will be first come, first served. See how to find us here (download).
Our lounge can also be booked by PhDs and Postdocs on a regular basis, whether it is for a meeting or just to hang out – we have fresh coffee all day long! Read more about the seminar series here.
