Communicating Technical Concepts to Non-technical People
The Midwest D-CFAR has designed an interactive masterclass specifically for researchers seeking to strengthen their communication with lay audiences. Through a practical exploration of verbal, written, and digital communication strategies, participants learn to translate complex research into clear, accessible, and engaging messages.
