This popular open-house workshop will be held at the Novotel Hotel in Melbourne and online, via Zoom and interactive multimedia.
The output-driven course, presented by seasoned science writer and broadcaster Peter Spinks, will teach the essential skills and strategies needed to convey the fruits of scientific research to the media, government, research-funding bodies and the public.
The online science-writing workshop starts at 9.30am and finishes at 11am, Melbourne time.
Among other things, the comprehensive course will cover fundamental principles and “rules of the science-writing game”, thus equipping researchers and managers with the confidence and media savvy required to project messages clearly and simply.
Hands-on training will be provided in preparing articles, features and illustrative material for many outlets, including in-house, local and international publications and the digital media.
Participants completing the course will acquire valuable skills, including those needed to liaise with journalists and prepare successful pitches.
Worked examples, reference materials, background notes and a certificate will be provided.
