This interactive workshop focuses on science communication as part of Public Engagement within Open Science. Through a ‘Whisper game’ and ‘Secret Mission’ containing role plays, students learn what public engagement entails, how scientific topics can be explained tailored to a specific audience and how they can incorporate public engagement in their own career. This workshop was created by students of the Graduate School of Life Sciences at Utrecht University and UMC Utrecht as part of the Open Science course within the Life Sciences and Society profile.
