Description

If you want to get better at communicating complex scientific concepts to non-specialist audiences, then this guide is for you! It offers a structured approach to translating research papers into engaging, accessible summaries designed for a range of audiences. This guide acts as a valuable tool to utilise whenever a new paper is published or simply as a way to practice and refine your science writing skills.

The document is divided into five sections to step you through how to communicate your research to lay audiences. The first two sections focus on helping you understand various audience types and how to make your ‘science-talk’ more accessible to them. This is followed by five individual research summary templates, each focusing on a specific audience, from policy makers and journalists to high school and university students, and the general public.

Each template includes prompts covering key aspects of the research summary. These prompts are designed to help you think about the most relevant and engaging way to present your research to each unique audience. There is also a clear, practical example for each template adapting a single research study - the impact of climate change on polar bear populations. These examples illustrate how to adjust language, detail, and emphasis to meet the needs and interests of different readers.

The guide is rounded off with an additional resources section, for those interested in further honing their science communication skills. So whether you're a seasoned researcher or a postgraduate student making your first foray into science communication, this tool offers you the structured guidance to ensure your research is understood, appreciated, and has the impact it deserves, no matter who your audience is.
