| Course Content | |||||||||||
| How do you reach a wider audience with your research? Radio, TV, and Newspapers all have their own obscure agendas, when it comes to selecting what stories they'll bring. And often journalists don't understand what a scientist is talking about. In this course we will work on finding 'The Good Stories' within your research that are presentable to the general public and help you prepare the press story which is a requirement in connection to your graduation. As a part of the course you will write a press release based on your own project. That text may subsequently become an article on Videnskab.dk. We recommend that you attend the course during the last part of your PhD study. | |||||||||||
