Brief description: 

This guide will help any expert think through the issues that arise when they want to talk about their work to non-experts. It is principally targeted at scientists, engineers and technologists.

The major topics covered are how to:

  • play a role in building bridges between expert and non-expert communities, and
    why it is necessary
  • devise the most effective ways of communicating your expertise to different
    audiences
  • interact with audiences effectively in informal settings
  • work with the media
