A growing number of institutions offer opportunities for faculty members to learn how to talk to the general public about their research in a way that is easy to understand. Here’s a sample of the workshops and what participants learn:
Cornell University
A monthly workshop series called “Knowledge Matters: Communicating Research for Different Audiences Through Transmedia” gives Cornell faculty and academic staff members information on how to translate their research into various media genres, including websites, blogs, vlogs, comics, and even PechaKucha, a fast-paced presentation style where 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each. Twenty-two Cornell faculty members have been selected as 2017-18 Knowledge Matters Fellows.
