Future Science Talks is back for 2024 with a new program for Sydney Comedy Festival in May.
Want to improve your research presentation style?
Interested in making your talks more fun and engaging?
Then join the Sydney Science Comedy Program by Future Science Talks.
The EOI form has just opened and is available here. It only takes 60-seconds to fill in. Applications close on Friday 23 January. Positions are filled on a first in, best dressed basis – so we do not recommend waiting until the last moment if you’re keen.
What is the program?
The program includes five workshops and a 10-minute talk at the Sydney Comedy Festival.
The talks are at the Factory Theatre and the Manning Bar in mid-May (additional info and dates are in the EOI link).
How does the program work?
The five workshops will cover all elements of impactful storytelling including how to increase your stage presence, reduce nerves and generate audience engagement.
You will also learn how to weave comedy techniques into your talks to help you to be more engaging in the workplace, when speaking with funding bodies, at conferences and when communicating with the public
Who should apply?
The program is for anyone working in science, technology or engineering research or an adjacent field. Early to mid-career professionals are especially encouraged to join.
Previous program participants have included professionals from a wide array of sectors and organisations including science, tech, consultancy, non-profits, government and social sciences.
This is a national program, with Sydney being the final program to open for 2024.
