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. My passion is helping researchers to elevate their communication skills and present their research effectively and engagingly to diverse audiences: in talks, job interviews (including job-talks), professional presentations to other science-experts (ERC interviews, thesis presentations, seminars), non-experts (philanthropists, industry leaders, investors), media interviews etc.

Together, we dismantle complicated research and data into clear messages, minimize the use of jargon (when needed) and technical terms and sharpen presentation skills. read more ›

SCICOMM IN ACTION


“As researchers, our tendency is to be very focused on our research subjects and less about how it may affect our society in a broader perspective. When I talk about my research, I understand that what seems important to me is not as important or interesting to people outside my research. When training with Meital, I was able to build messages that resonate with different audiences and in an efficient time frame that makes the audience absorb my messages in a memorable way.”

Rafael Stern, PhD student at the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Weizmann Institute of Science

In this video, you can watch Rafael in action, giving a talk about his work while passionately telling the audience his personal story and what led him to do his groundbreaking research in climate science. Wait to the end and listen to the beautiful poem Rafael is reciting.
