Description
Research performance is increasingly being judged on impact and engagement rather than the number of journal articles and their impact factor. Scientists face increasingly demanding work schedules and need cost and time effective strategies to maximize the positive real-world outcomes from their research. It is an exciting time to communicate science!
Social media has vastly changed how we get our news and interact with our friends, families and colleagues. Smart phone technology has improved to the point that feature films have been shot entirely on iPhones. New technologies such as virtual and augmented reality offer opportunities to immerse your audiences in your stories and provide a feeling of presence that can be absolutely profound.
Cinematic Science is a media company that works with scientists all around the world. During this presentation we will discuss:
- How can you make your message clear (and fascinating) to non-specialists without “dumbing-down” and compromising meaning?
- What are the latest technological and social innovations relevant to Science Communication (aerial footage from drones, 3D animation,
- Gaming, info graphics, virtual, mixed and augmented reality and socially innovative campaigns)?
- How should you choose what technology and techniques to use to tell your stories?
- How can you find the language, voice and platform to get your message to the right people in the most effective way?
