2-day workshop on science communication for women in astronomy
October 1 & 2, 2024
Room 001 in the ETP-building in Cologne (Zülpicher Str. 77a)
by Felicitas Molker

Basics of communication; exploring the media landscape; scientific knowledge on the way from specialist publication to the media; practice in writing for general understanding;
Writing a press release and/or a generally understandable article including a review.
The course is aimed specifically at female scientists, who are often still underrepresented in the media. Among other things, the following questions are addressed:
How do I place a topic in the media? Is there a bias in the selection of researchers on the part of media professionals, and what does this look like? Are there gender-specific differences in the initiative to get one’s own research into the media and how can this be counteracted if necessary?
