Speaker
Description
Polish up your Klingon (the title is a bit of a teaser; it is a Klingon translation of “Tell me more”)! Effective communication is key when it comes to talking about your research, presenting your research at conferences, and writing papers; Even more so when trying to sell your ideas and research to funding agencies and politicians and decision makers. Lorna Somers has perfected the art of storytelling, speaking at educational, arts and charitable organizations throughout the world. “Tell me more!” is what we want our listeners to say when we are talking about our research. But they will not get there if they do not understand what we are talking about or why it is relevant and important! During this workshop, Lorna will teach us how to effectively communicate in different contexts and with different audiences.
