How can I talk about my work to reach people where they are?
What can I do to increase trust in science and scientists?
How can I use social media to increase the impact of my research?
How can I use my voice as a scientist to make the change I want?

If you’ve ever asked yourself any of these questions, you’re not alone.

Researchers across the U are looking for ways to make their voices heard and communicate their research effectively. The U of U Health research communications team is proud to launch a new workshop series on effective science storytelling, focusing on how to talk, write, and post about research for broad audiences. Our goal is to give researchers the tools to level up your science communications, no matter your previous experience. Researchers and science-interested individuals at all career stages are welcome!

The workshop series took place in 2025. You can now watch them online at the links below.
