This hour-long event gives you a chance to pitch a potential story idea about you or your work, by briefly explaining an aspect of your research, why it matters and why you love it. Then, you will get feedback from the journalists: What do they find most interesting? Can they envision a story about you or your work? What intrigues them enough so they want to know more? You will make new connections, and learn what different journalists look for in a science story.
Whether you take the microphone or just observe, this is a fun chance to learn about your colleagues’ research, and view it in an entirely new way.
When and where?
The event will take place Tuesday 20 August 18.00-19.00 at Aula Magna Mezzaninen.
