The challenge of demystifying my science was daunting.  Read more

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: #ScientistOnTheMove, Academia, Blog, Career paths, Careers articles, Communication, Competition, Europe, In the news, Research

Is a picture worth a thousand words?

Posted by David Payne | Categories: Academia, Blog, Communication, Data, Mobility, Multimedia, Publishing, Research

Is a picture worth a thousand words?

Translating the results of a research project into a 10-minute presentation or article can be a difficult task. It must be informative but also succinct and appealing. It has to tell an interesting story. It has to entertain. And you shouldn’t have too much text.  Read more
