Clarity and cut-through in science communication

We work in a crowded and fast-moving information landscape. In this environment, STEM communicators are increasingly challenged to ensure their messages are heard, understood, and trusted.

Join us for a panel discussion exploring the challenges of communicating big, complex issues. Whether the topic is climate, energy, nutrition, health, technology or regional transitions, effective public communication that achieves cut-through requires clarity, credibility and adaptability.

This session will unpack strategies for landing your message, navigating contested and complex communication environments, working with multiple channels, and avoiding unproductive engagement, while keeping audiences informed and connected on issues that matter to their lives and communities.

Aligned with this year’s National Science Week theme, Seeds of Science: Nurturing knowledge for all, this discussion will explore how we can plant, nurture and share knowledge in ways that build understanding and connection in a complex information environment.

This event is proudly delivered in partnership with the University of Newcastle’s College of Engineering, Science and Environment.
