About the session
Science has the power to inspire curiosity, spark conversations and connect people with the world around them. But how do we communicate scientific ideas in ways that resonate with audiences beyond academia?
Join Regina Cozzi (St. Francis Xavier University) and Susannah Lydon (University of Nottingham) for a webinar exploring science outreach from two different perspectives. Regina, drawing on her experience as X-Oceans Outreach Director and lead organizer of the annual World Oceans Day, and Susannah, on her expertise in communicating to non-specialists about the fossil record and what tells us about life in the past. They will share insights into communicating research, engaging non-specialist audiences and creating meaningful outreach opportunities.
The webinar will consist of two 15-minute talks, followed by an open Q&A and discussion with attendees.
There is an opportunity on the booking form to let us know if you have any accessibility requirements so we can help everyone to engage and access this webinar.

About the OED Webinar Series
The Outreach, Education and Diversity (OED) Webinar Series is a series of events that runs every 2 months. They are free to attend and are designed to support our community of educators, from research and teaching-focused staff, looking to improve their teaching, develop skills, and build a network of like-minded colleagues.
Running across the year, each 45-minute session will focus on themes within Outreach, Education, and Diversity (OED) remit. There will be a couple of short talks (usually 15 minutes) and group discussions. Occasionally the sessions will take the format of a workshop to share ideas, experiences, and practical approaches.
Sessions will be recorded (where speakers agree) and made available on the SEB website and YouTube, ensuring ongoing access for the wider community.
If you would like to suggest a topic or volunteer to speak, please fill out our OED webinar proposal form, or contact Amanda Rasmussen ([email protected]).
