Strategic Science Communication: Mastering the Art of Presenting to a Lay Audience
Learn how to present your poster to all type of audiences!
Calling all research symposium presenters!
GEARS and GSPD presents a workshop to hone your presentation skills:
Presenting Your Research Poster to an Interdisciplinary Audience
Are you presenting a poster at the upcoming GEARS Research Symposium or an interdisciplinary conference? Join us for a practical workshop designed to help you communicate your research effectively to a broad audience.
Date: 03/26/2026
Time: 2pm - 3pm
Venue: UC 310
Light snacks will be provided.
Why This Workshop Matters
Unlike traditional academic conferences, GEARS brings together researchers and high level university officials from diverse fields. Most visitors to your poster won't share your specialized background, making it essential to communicate your work in accessible, engaging ways that resonate across disciplines.
What You Will Learn
- Strategies for explaining complex concepts to non-specialist audiences.
- How to identify and communicate the broader significance of your research.
- Techniques for adapting your message on the fly based on your audience.
- How to read your poster visitor and engage them effectively.
- Tips for handling questions from outside your field.
This event is a collaboration between the Graduate Student & Postdoctoral Development (GSPD) team and the Graduate Experiences, Achievements, and Research Successes (GEARS) committee of the Graduate Student Association (GSA).
RSVP your attendance on this link and add to your calendar.
