    Science Communication for Greater Research Impact

    We live in a world, where great science cannot always to speak for itself. It is critical that scientific advancements are made readily available and easy to understand as science well communicated is key to greater research impact, from research-informed policy making, societal debates to overall wider recognition of advancements made. This lecture will focus on communication of science to inspire what and how researchers and scientist can push the envelope on the reach of their research. Join us for a lecture session that touches upon science, art, visual communications and the way forward for greater research impact.
