• In Event: What’s That Again Professor? Translating Your Research for the Public

Short Description

So what? Researchers are often asked to explain the importance of our work. Most of us are good at doing this for people in our discipline, but how can we do this for people who aren’t in our field? This panel will present ideas and suggestions on how we can translate our work for the public. You’ll see examples and hear ideas on how to translate academic writing into a format for the public.
