How to tell stories with science

Monday 6th December from 13:30 - 14:30

A FREE online talk by Alok Jha – Science and Technology Correspondent for the Economist

The Division of Natural Sciences, in collaboration with Student Success, is delighted to welcome Inspirational Speaker Alok Jha, author, broadcaster, and Science and Technology Correspondent for the Economist, who will be explaining ‘How to Tell Stories with Science‘.

“Science is one of the most useful, most fascinating, most creative inventions of the human mind. But no-one will know that unless you (scientists, that is) talk about it. But how do you get people to listen? Science is the cornerstone of modern life, but it is also complex, counter-intuitive and can be alienating. How should those who are trained in it help spread the joy?”

In this talk Alok will tell you what he’s learned about good and bad science communication.

This FREE to attend event is open to all students and staff, and will be taking place on Microsoft Teams.
