Register at https://www.tcd.ie/physics/300/registration/ Never at any time in history has technology and science been so embedded in daily life. We are depending on it to solve the grand challenges of our time including addressing the impacts of climate change, reversing the effects of human activity on the planet, space exploration, communications, renewable energy and medical advances to name just a few examples. To be effective scientists we must be able to explain the science and its implications to policy makers, business leaders and the general public. This workshop will explore how to effectively engage, inform and influence the public, from government to school children.
