Bite-sized

Most of us know the importance of using images to illustrate our research and science communication, but if you're not a graphic designer, you might not know where to start. In this mini-workshop, we'll explain why images are so powerful, what formats we can choose from, and where we can find them, and then we'll show you how to apply basic edits (size, cropping) and how to enhance (with text, filters and more) your images. Expect a hands-on session with lots of useful tips and tricks. This is a bite-sized workshop for researchers and scientists who want to boost their research communication in short, engaging sessions.

The social media landscape is changing rapidly, so where should researchers and scientists invest their time and energy? Join us for an interactive session to explore what's out there, what other researchers are using – and how that might be changing, how to think strategically about where to invest your time on social media, and what tools you can use to boost your productivity. This is a bite-sized workshop for researchers and scientists who want to boost their research communication in short, engaging sessions.

Taking videos with a smartphone is relatively easy, but once you have the footage, what happens when you need to tidy up those videos? What if you want to add a image at the start and end of your video? Cut out mistakes? Add audio? Export the video to the right format? Compress the video into smaller size? And publish the video online? That's what this mini-workshop is all about.
