Successfully communicating your research is an essential skill for all researchers.
Join Dr Aimee Blackledge for a fun and interactive session where you will build a LEGO® model of your PhD topic and present it to a group of fellow researchers.
Through creating and explaining your model you will practice discussing details about your research and research aims, even if you have only just started your PhD. Participants will come away with skills to better articulate the core essence of their research to a wider multi-disciplinary audience.
