On Wednesday, 11th December 2024, members of our research team had the opportunity to participate in an inspiring and dynamic workshop, “Communication Skills and Public Speaking in Science,” organized by the University of Split as part of the project “Reconnecting Science with Blue Society – Blue-connect 2.0.” 🌊🎓

🌟 Led by Dr. Branka Šegvić, the workshop provided a welcoming and stimulating environment where our researchers honed their communication skills and learned how to make their public presentations even more engaging and appealing to diverse audiences. 🎭
Special attention was given to non-verbal communication, which often plays a critical role in delivering a message, even if we’re unaware of it.

🎯 At the end of the workshop, each participant had the chance to present their work briefly, followed by valuable feedback and practical tips for improvement.

👥 Representing our team were:
🔹 Dr. Katarina Lukšić
🔹 PhD students Ana Boban and Natalija Bulaš

They learned that the key elements of an excellent presentation are:
🔑 Motivation to convey the message 🔑 Thorough preparation 🔑 Focus on the goal 🔑 Interaction with the audience

Congratulations to our colleagues for their effort and for enhancing their skills! We look forward to even more inspiring and impactful presentations in the future. 🚀
