    How do you stop yourself fidgeting when you talk?

    Are you one of those people who fidgets when you're standing in front of a crowd? You know what I mean, pacing back and forth, repeatedly checking your fly, scratching your nose... In fairness we all probably do it occasionally. But how do you stop it? ----------- The Key Message is a podcast about research communication put out by the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science at ANU.

    How Do You Deal With Online Trolls?

  4. Do you have to be an extrovert to be a good communicator?

    08/11/2017

    Do you have to be an extrovert to be a good communicator?

    Let's face it - the business of research is typically a pretty introverted one. We researchers and scientists like to sit in quiet rooms with our books and data - and the idea of being an extroverted communicator is just so far from our natural state... But should we embrace our inner extravert to communicate our research? ----------- The Key Message is a podcast about research communication put out by the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science at ANU.

    What do you do when you're asked a dumb question?

    Dumb questions... You know the ones, when the audience member asks something totally weird, odd, or just not quite right.
