As a freelance trainer at the German National Institute for Science Communication (NaWik gGmbH), she also seeks to support others in communicating their scientific topics. This keynote invites you to join Christine on her science communication journey, from a life-changing phone call in 2018 right up to today, including many peeks “behind the scenes”. Have you ever wondered about whether and/or how to communicate your science, how to prepare such an engagement, and what the potential costs and benefits are?

Workshop: Argumentation in Science

Argumentation is a key element of scientific method and crucial for the communication of scientific findings. This workshop aims at training your skills to analyze, assess, and (re-)construct arguments. To this purpose, key terms and results from logic and argumentation theory will be introduced. We will then apply them to concrete examples. For instance, we will explore how to handle incomplete arguments and how to discuss objections against arguments.

Workshop: Create Your Personal Website

Having your own website is like having a digital scientific ‘business card.’ Perhaps you do not know where to start, or perhaps you started but then got stuck? In this workshop, you will create your very own professional website using R Markdown and Distill. No previous programming skills are required; you will start with a template, and then, step-by-step, add to this website template to represent you, your science, your teaching, your outreach activities, etc. You will also learn how and where to host your website.

If you want to understand more about the digital academic landscape, then take the Academic Digitour to find out:

- what’s actually out there
- what each platform does
- what are advantages and disadvantages
- which platforms are the most important for researchers
