36119-01 - Lecture: Nanoscience Media Competence (2 CP)
| Semester | spring semester 2016 |
| Course frequency | Every spring sem. |
| Lecturers | Ralf Stutzki (ralf.stutzki@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | Good science needs good communication: rhetoric and media competence in Nanoscience Bridging the communication divide between (nano-) science and the public is a pivotal yet highly underestimated scientific community task. A researcher ought to be able to communicate successfully about his/her own scientific findings both to his/her peers as well as to the broad non-scientific public. Rhetorical skills and media competence thus should be trained - they are indispensable parts of any good academic communication. |
| Learning objectives | This course will i. expose students to the evolving (national and international) media systems ii. address - in depth - issues of sound journalistic practice and media ethics iii. enhance students‘ rhetorical skills in order to prepare them for - future poster and paper presentations at scientific conferences - media inquiries and interviews iv. train students to translate complex scientific issues into publishable media language (e.g. writing press releases). v. offer the unique opportunity to participate in a broadcast production about Nanoscience. Students will produce a radio program focusing on their research interests. |
