The course is well-structured, slick, beautifully produced, and easy-to-follow, and the enthusiastic instructors will make you want to keep watching. Whether you are looking to make sense of the sci-comm landscape, need tools and strategies to interact with the media when your research suddenly turns out to be controversial, or are looking to make your work more impactful and understandable to decision makers and the public, this course is for you.

"It was the best communication course l have ever attended. It helped me to
strengthen my communication techniques and strategies and also to
understand my audience. The course is well structured and informative."
"The ability to communicate science can make the difference between having an average and an exceptional scientific career, both in terms of raising funds and creating on-the-ground impact. Tali and Brendon make the principles fun and accessible, using real-world examples from their work as science communicators. I would highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to improve the reach and relevance of their scientific findings."
