The role of experiments in scientific outreach
Join us for our third Scientific Communication Masterclass
When faced with an audience, what we call “experiments” are tools that can be used to achieve several different and sometimes contradictory objectives. Together we will dissect the different ways of approaching the scientific mediation experience and share advice on how to better learn to master them in front of an audience.
