CRBLM 5à7: Telling the story of your research

CRBLM 5à7 events are an informal and relaxed forum for students to support each other and network while exploring different themes. The Jan 19 event will focus on communicating your research in a concise and audience-friendly way. We are delighted that CRBLM alumna Dr Fernanda Pérez-Gay Juárez will share her experiences in Science Communication and talk about her neuroscience video series, SINAPSIS [click on CC for subtitles].

We will then share some tips and discussion on how to answer the question “What exactly are you researching?” very briefly and for any audience, ranging from your next-door neighbour to a specialist in your field. We will also take a look at the various contexts in which you might find yourself having to summarize your research, such as a grant application or the three-minute thesis competition.

Il est possible de participer en français ou en anglais. Whether you are interested in formal science communication, or just want to be able to talk about your research more confidently, all are welcome. Tous et toutes sont les bienvenu-es. Des rafraîchissements seront servis ! Refreshments will be served! Please register below.
