    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.

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

    11/08/2017

    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.
