MEDIA TRAINING FOR SCIENTISTS

4-hr Short Course - Available upon request. Cost is $150.

Course Description
The media training workshop is a hands on class where participants will get to experience a bit of the anxiety it feels to be on TV. For this class, the focus is on how to prepare for a media interview and then successfully execute it. The key parts of this course will address:

Why effective communication matters
How to craft a clear message
Mock interviews

Join us for the chance to turn your research into something someone else will find interesting. Learn how to speak clearly.

Instructor
Steven Sobieszczyk is a scientist, storyteller, and dad. Besides his research, Sobie’s passion is to help others communicate better, regardless of their background or interests. Due to his insatiable curiosity he has developed a broad expertise, including being a teacher, spokesperson, author, web developer, videographer, and artist. He is also a co-founder and Vice President of Content at ScienceTalk.org.

We are now accepting proposals for speaking opportunities at SCIENCE TALK '21. Join us in presenting a dynamic and productive online science communication conference. You can participate from anywhere in the world! Here’s your chance to share your expertise with other science communication practitioners, facilitators, and professionals. At SCIENCE TALK ’21 our theme is Resilience. In your proposals, consider how the events of the last year have taught us how to be resilient and in what ways we can continue to learn and build.

Email info@sciencetalk.org to apply for any of these volunteer positions. In your email, please indicate the position(s) you would like to be considered for and a brief (100-200 word) description of your qualifications and interests. In addition, please attach a 1-2 page CV or resume.
