F13.00003: Creating Engaging, Memorable, Powerful Physics Communications Invited Speaker: Kathleen Yurkewicz Podcasts. YouTube videos. TikToks. Op-eds. Articles. Blogs. Public lectures. Twitter threads. Demos. Instagram reels. The opportunities and platforms available to scientists to engage with the public continue to grow, but the underlying principles of capturing, connecting with, and inspiring audiences remain constant. This presentation will discuss creating effective communications for various audiences, including setting achievable goals, grabbing their attention early, building trust and connection, telling stories, excising jargon, and empowering them to continue their engagement with science. |

F13.00005: Making your science understandable Invited Speaker: Nicholas T Young Science is fundamental to people’s lives and engaging in civic duties increasingly requires scientific knowledge. If science isn’t accessible to people looking for information, we open the door for misinformation and pseudoscience to spread. Yet, scientific research is communicated in increasingly complicated language and hence, only available and understandable to a small fraction of the population. Therefore, we as a community need to consider how to ensure the public receives accurate and understandable scientific information. In this talk, I’ll share strategies for scientists to think about methods to disseminate their findings to general audiences and how they can ensure their research is understandable to audiences of diverse backgrounds. I’ll also share my work with PERbites, an American Astronomical Society supported blog devoted to making the results of discipline-based education research accessible to all. |
