Early Careers Event - Talking About Soil

Join BSSS’ Early Careers Committee at Talking About Soil on Wednesday 21 July from 1.30pm to 5.00pm. Featuring two invited speakers, it is your guide to presenting your research in an engaging way to academic and non-academic audiences.

Chris Snowden, a STEM Communicator and Public Engagement Professional, will introduce you to different concepts to consider when creating an engaging experience. From picking your audience, to the importance of the language you use and the power of stories and passion to get your audience to care about your work (plus many more tips!).

Presenting your soil research to an inter-disciplinary academic audience can be challenging. Dr Ashish Malik will share his experience on how to effectively communicate soil research to peers in the field and give a behind-the-scenes insight and top tips for creating a presentation.

Talking About Soil will also provide an opportunity to meet your Early Career Committee, sharing with them your thoughts and feedback, as well as chatting with your peers and taking part in a fun game of networking bingo!

The event is free of charge for EC members and please register in advance. Further event details will be sent closer to the date.
