Creating Connections: An Introduction to the Alda Method®
How many of us fall into the trap of giving the same talk no matter who our audience is and expecting our message to stick?
For example, giving the same talk about ‘Antibacterial Resistance’ to doctors as you would to a class of 11-year-olds. Would the message stick? The answer is no! What would work then? Where does one even begin? This online workshop is designed to help scientists understand and connect with different types of audiences from the general public, peers, and professors to potential employers, policymakers, or family members.
There is no one audience when it comes to science communication. Effective science communication involves getting to know who your various audiences are, learning how to connect with them, and shaping your message to their needs.
Workshop Outcomes:
At the end of this interactive session, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the importance of knowing about your audience for effective communication.
2. Increase empathy for your audience - understand how they view you, and you view them.

“The facts should speak for themselves.”
As much as we’d like this to be true, when it comes to science communication, this assumption can be a grave mistake. Data must be interpreted, framed, and delivered in an impactful way—by you, the scientist. But how do you determine how to frame your message and deliver it with the most impact?
This online workshop is designed to help scientists know what makes an effective communication goal and the importance of pursuing it actively with an audience. One goal does not fit all audiences. Effective science communication hinges on directing your knowledge of your audience and your understanding of context toward a realistic and inspiring goal.
