That half-day workshop offered a crash course in writing, photography, sketching, and audio-video SciComm. Knowing the material was wide-ranging and complex, we bundled our favorite articles, tools, software and apps \u2013 most of which you already carry around in your pocket or could download for free \u2013 into a resource guide which provided greater depth on these media and a range of topics:<\/p>\n The resources we curated address SciComm challenges<\/strong> such as the \u2018self-promotion dilemma,\u2019 getting started, public speaking, producing more compelling presentations, and dealing with social media. There are lots of suggestions for free design software and articles on graphic design basics. An entire section deals with journalism-related topics, such as dealing with reporters, making data (numbers) accessible, freelance journalism resources, and great information on science communication\/journalism ethics.<\/p>\n Getting media-specific<\/strong><\/p>\n Among the many we included, there are valuable resources detailing:<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t find what you\u2019re looking for in the rich-text online version, check out the PDF guide <\/a>we printed and distributed at that 2014 workshop. The PDF version includes narrative explanations for audio-video, our top picks if you\u2019re looking for a book on SciComm, and a handful of relevant conferences and fellowships.<\/p>\n Our aim \u2013 with SciComm workshops<\/a>, special sessions, and with these resources \u2013 is to empower ecologists to better communicate the stories of our science (including stories about the people doing the science) in creative and compelling ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n We hope you\u2019ll find the resources we\u2019ve curated provide a useful starting or building point for your own personal and professional SciComm development.
