The Doctoral College is delighted to present world-leading researcher and former European Young Scientist of the Year, Professor Donald Patrick McDonnell, for an enlightening session on how to communicate your research to the wider public.
This talk will emphasise the critical role of clear communication in shaping public understanding, policy-making, and societal engagement with research.
Professor McDonnell will address common challenges that face researchers, such as technical jargon and complexity, offering practical strategies to distil intricate concepts into compelling narratives. Storytelling techniques will be highlighted as a powerful tool to engage non-expert audiences and convey the significance of research findings.
Through personal anecdotes and notable examples of successful science communication, Professor McDonnell will share insights on what makes effective communication work and how to overcome common obstacles.
Attendees will gain valuable skills to communicate their own research into impactful stories, bridging the gap between academia and wider society.
