Why Science Communication?
Immunological research lies the foundation of public health and is thus of great interest to society. As we are at the very fronteer of development and innovation, we irrefutably are obligued to pass knowledge on to others. As scientists, we can guide society and teach unbiased, evidence-based decision making. In a world permeated by science and its products, these skills become ever more important.
Apart from the above, enganging yourself in science communication may booster your career, enhance the range of your scientific findings, enable new cooperations or simply enrich your well-beeing as a scientist.
Boost your personal skills in Science Communication by joining the Workshop Series.
