This new free course gives a refreshing angle to data science communications, with some fun free workshops coming up soon. As a former journalist I have provided content on communicating data and would be glad of members’ help in encouraging PhD students and early career researchers to sign up for their local workshop. I would love to hear from any members who would like to give a brief talk at their nearby workshop about their data communications tips. Email me on [log in to unmask] rather than emailing the whole list, please.
