Activity Summary
Topics covered (see the program : AstroComm2021_ProgramFinal) included presentation tips for various target audiences, social media, sidewalk astronomy for the general public, media training, presentations for young students in classrooms, and more. The workshop was hosted by Nathalie Ouellette (Université de Montréal), with sessions led by Julie Bolduc-Duval (Discover the Universe) and Trevor Kjorlien (Plateau Astro). Several other science communication experts were also present to share their experiences and lead small group activities: Frédérique Baron (Université de Montréal), Viraja Khatu (Western University), Marie-Eve Naud (Université de Montréal) and Jesse Rogerson (York University).
We thank all participants and facilitators for attending AstroComm 2021 and hope to continue this great discussion on science communication during future events!
