This session is about communicating your research/work effectively and talking to the public. By the time you leave this session, you will have a 1-minute speech that effectively communicates your work/research, and why it is relevant to others. We will also be sharing best public speaking practices and how to make stronger connections with your audience. At the very end, we briefly cover social media and online communication and how to make the best of the tools we have available to us in these spaces.
