The Event
Please join us for this special event to help understand how to effectively translate research for a general audience. Across media, publishing, and academia, we share a common challenge: how to communicate complex ideas clearly, accurately, and compellingly. This event creates space for conversation across professional boundaries—connecting those who produce research with those who bring stories, evidence, and insight to the public. Bringing together journalists, book writers, literary agents, and researchers, this event offers a chance to learn how to take ideas to action in disseminated research findings.
