During the workshops they discuss concerns about speaking to the public and confront misconceptions about how the media works. The workshop is for early career researchers in all sciences, engineering or medicine (PhD students, post-docs or equivalent in first job). It would be great if you could send this message below around to your early career researchers and encourage them to apply, and let me know if you do.
