Description
Over the last two decades, emerging methods of outreach have arisen. They have expanded outreach beyond public lectures, articles and science centre demonstrations to include dedicated television programs, astronomy videos (on platforms like YouTube, TikTok and Instagram) and podcasts. This phenomenon has been widening access to various publics.
In this workshop, we look at how to communicate science in a way that bridges the gap between the current results of Public Engagement and the desired results, with current employment statistics in astronomy as our main indicators.
Throughout, we will explore and understand the methods to implement when communicating science, whether through article writing, presenting to an audience or otherwise. Those from all levels of Science Communication are welcome to learn how to communicate science using certain methods or build on your existing skillset to enhance your delivery.
