<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Our last workshop with Miranda was great and we are expecting another informative and engaging workshop that will provide a chance to improve all round communication skills in addition to those specifically directed
towards the general public. Whether it is an interview for a job in industry, a science fair, a blog post, or a non-technical summary of your thesis work, all of us are likely to have to present our work to a non-science audience at some point and this is
a great opportunity to advance some of those non-technical communication skills.</span></p>

<span style="margin:0px; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(102,102,102)">"The workshop will focus on communication and how to connect with non-science audiences - the general public, government, business - and educating participants on writing and speaking for the
science communications space/general public, learning tricks to engage the general public in their research. Participants will understand how to translate their academic writing into media forms that resonate with other audiences - blog posts, editorials,
science slam performances, etc. - and learn how to adapt their communications to other forms of media as well as where and how to present and distribute original media to engage others in their research. </span></p>

<span style="margin:0px; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(102,102,102)">A final goal of the workshop is to create an outline for an original blog post that could be submitted to a science communications blog such a Science Writers and Communicators of Canada, so participants
should have topic in mind with some basic research completed and an idea of why they think the public should care.</span></p>
