Life science professionals are often asked to explain complex ideas to people with very different levels of technical understanding — colleagues from other disciplines, senior researchers, collaborators, or industry partners.
Yet many researchers receive little formal training in how to communicate their work clearly outside their immediate field.
This workshop focuses on practical communication techniques that help researchers explain complex ideas with clarity, adapt their message for different audiences, and ensure their contributions are understood and recognised.
The course is designed specifically for life science professionals and is delivered by facilitators with postdoctoral experience who understand the communication challenges researchers encounter in both academic and industry environments.
Participants will work through realistic scenarios drawn from research settings and leave with practical approaches they can apply immediately in meetings, collaborations and professional discussions.
Participants will explore how to:
• Explain complex scientific ideas clearly and succinctly
• Adapt communication for different audiences and contexts
• Contribute confidently in meetings and discussions
• Communicate the significance of their work effectively
Format: Half-day interactive workshop.
Who this course is for:
This course is designed for life science professionals who want to communicate their work more clearly and effectively as their careers develop.
It is particularly relevant for:
• Postdoctoral researchers
• Early-career scientists in academia or industry
• Researchers who present their work at meetings, conferences or project reviews
• Scientists working in interdisciplinary or collaborative environments
Participants are encouraged to bring examples of their own communication challenges or scenarios to discuss during the workshop.
