Communicating your science is vital for your success as a researcher!
Ask any scientist—preparing to deliver a lecture or interviewing for a job can be a daunting and stressful task. In either setting, the messages need to be clear, concise and, most importantly, memorable.
My name is Meital Salmor and I am a Science Communication (SciComm) trainer and strategist.
