23.01.2022 Scientists sometimes claim that communicators dumb down their ideas and words. But the best communication of science distils the essence of the scientist's work. Check out our March newsletter on this topic.

23.01.2022 The thoughtful use of well-designed graphical elements are central to the presentation of science. They need to be accurate, appropriate to the scientific endeavour and attractive and easy to grasp quickly. http://www.econnect.com.au//econnect-newsletter-november-/

21.01.2022 Light on text and appealing in design. This month we talk infographics across an array of topics. Check out our May newsletter.

20.01.2022 Very pleased to have a chapter, co-authored with Toss Gascoigne, included in international book on science communication training. Sums up much of the last 27 years of experience in running communication skills training for scientists in Australia and around the world.
