SUMMARY:BCREGMED Media Engagement Workshop
DESCRIPTION:News media set agendas\, shape policies and impact spending. Issues that are effectively profiled by the news media are seen as more important than those not receiving such attention. However\, often the people most expert in a particular field have difficulty translating their deep knowledge into commentary that is accessible and engaging to a lay audience made up of those who don’t have a science background or specialized vocabulary. BCREGMED is providing a two day media engagement workshop for its graduate students\, post docs\, and PIs. The goal being to provide support with concrete tools and strategies to increase their communications effectiveness when sharing information about any aspect of their work with the broader public through news media. \nWRITING COMPELLING COMMENTARY \nThis workshop provides participants with the confidence and tools to contribute their expertise to the public discourse through compelling\, short-form written commentary for newspaper op ed pages and online sites. It helps scholars to: \n• Identify elements of their work most likely to be of interest to a broader public and the news media;\n• Apply a 5-step approach to developing a persuasive\, focused written argument;\n• Learn some self-editing strategies and the process of submitting commentary to news media gatekeepers.

SUMMARY:The Art of Explaining Science to Non-Specialists
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to learn how to help non-specialists understand key knowledge and novel research in your field? Join us for a 60-minute webinar where you’ll learn strategies for writing “explainers” that are clear and compelling to people outside of your field. This knowledge could be applied to writing captions on social media\, describing cutting-edge research\, and more. \nParticipants will:\n• Consider how you can use your knowledge and writing skills to help non-specialists better understand scientific or engineering research\n• Identify stylistic and structural elements of science communication\n• Practice techniques for writing texts that are clear and compelling \nSince 2017\, Dr. Diane Dechief has been designing and teaching science communication courses at the McGill Writing Centre. She was a facilitator at the 2020 national science communication conference\, ComSciCon CANADA

DESCRIPTION:Would you like to learn how to help non-specialists understand key knowledge and novel research in your field? Join us for a 60-minute webinar where you’ll learn strategies for writing “explainers” that are clear and compelling to people outside of your field. This knowledge could be applied to writing captions on social media\, describing cutting-edge research\, and more. \nParticipants will:\n• Consider how you can use your knowledge and writing skills to help non-specialists better understand scientific or engineering research\n• Identify stylistic and structural elements of science communication\n• Practice techniques for writing texts that are clear and compelling \nSince 2017\, Dr. Diane Dechief has been designing and teaching science communication courses at the McGill Writing Centre. She was a facilitator at the 2020 national science communication conference\, ComSciCon CANADA
