The Science Communication Series is a Biggio Center program helping Auburn faculty communicate their research and expertise clearly and confidently, on campus and beyond. In this session, Public Speaking and Storytelling, Lindsay Doukopoulos and Tony Williams share practical techniques for turning complex research into compelling, memorable stories for any audience. Join us to sharpen your public speaking and storytelling skills as a scholar.
The Public Speaking and Storytelling workshop is an opportunity for participants to learn and discuss the nuances that go into becoming a more confident and engaging public speaker. This workshop also discusses the importance of weaving your own personal perspective and incorporating storytelling skills into talks to help you further connect with your chosen audience.
Featured Speaker: Tony Williams
Tony is a Ph.D. Candidate in Earth System Science at Auburn University whose work spans meteorology, space weather, and geocognition. As a first-generation, non-traditional college student, he brings a unique perspective to science communication and outreach with an approach that values personal experience as a tool for connection and communication. His research explores how people understand and engage with complex Earth and space systems, with the goal of making science more meaningful and actionable across academic, public, and policy audiences.
