Your geoscience is important, and it can make a difference to the world! But, you need to communicate this! Our journal’s mission is to publish the research on best practice, so we all learn how to be the best communicators we can. This session is to help you publish about the tools, tips and techniques you use to create impact in your educational, outreach, or engagement (e.g. with government, industry) work.

The session is a drop-in ‘clinic’ with the journal editors, so bring your initial ideas, ‘stupid’ questions, research plans, or even draft papers!

Questions might include:
• How do I get started? - I’ve got a great outreach idea, but how do I use and contribute to best practice?
• How do I collect evidence / data? – The guts e.g. methods & statistics
• What does robust ‘research’ about communication look like? i.e. what a paper needs.

The session will consist of roughly 10 mins of us talking, followed by small group or 1-to-1 discussion with a Geoscience Communication editor, sitting around 3-4 tables.

It doesn’t matter if you know very little already. No question is too basic. Or, you’re an experienced geoscience communication practitioner; then, we can help you get the reputational benefit comes with publication.
