Scientists are often perceived to be poor communicators, but this is often because of a lack of formalised training at undergraduate level and beyond, rather than an innate inability to communicate. Combined with stereotypes from popular culture, this lack of training and confidence has led to a self-fulfilling prophecy, with many scientists simply given up as lost causes before they have even begun. Communicating effectively via a variety a media is an essential requirement of being a successful scientist in the 21-st century, and this book aims to provide practical advice on how to achieve this. Combining modern methods of engagement such as dealing with the modern media and professional social networking, with traditional methods of technical (and non-technical) presentation, paper-writing and proposal shaping, it provides a helping hand to all scientists, but especially those starting off at the beginning of their careers.
