AI Article Synopsis

  • Science communication is really important because people remember exciting stories better than boring facts.
  • The EU-LIFE Science Communications Working Group created a training course to help early-career researchers learn to tell their stories effectively.
  • This training has already helped some researchers share their work in science magazines, and now they're adapting it for medical doctors who are getting their PhDs.

Article Abstract

Science communication is an important skill. It is easier for nonacademic audiences to remember stories that resonate with their imagination rather than facts and figures. To help early-career researchers develop their skills, the EU-LIFE Science Communications Working Group (SCWG) developed a training course based on the experience from previous workshops held at a research institute in Denmark. The stories crafted in the workshops proved impactful, with some integrated into broader campaigns and featured in science magazines. The initiative holds potential for transformative change, helping researchers promote their findings and increasing awareness of emerging research topics among the public. Recently, the initiative has been customized for a summer school aimed at medical doctors pursuing a PhD, marking a step forward in the SCWG's mission to equip researchers with essential communication skills.

Detecting brain tumours (BT) early improves treatment possibilities and increases patient survival rates. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning offers more comprehensive information, such as better contrast and clarity, than any alternative scanning process. Manually separating BTs from several MRI images gathered in medical practice for cancer analysis is challenging and time-consuming.
