Do you have to be an extrovert to be a good communicator?

Let's face it - the business of research is typically a pretty introverted one. We researchers and scientists like to sit in quiet rooms with our books and data - and the idea of being an extroverted communicator is just so far from our natural state... But should we embrace our inner extravert to communicate our research? ----------- The Key Message is a podcast about research communication put out by the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science at ANU. Each episode we explore the issues you might be having communicating your research, and provide tips based on research and experience on how to improve. Got something you'd like to explore?

Hosted by Dr Merryn McKinnon (@MezMcK) and Dr Will Grant (@willozap) of the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science at ANU (@ANU_CPAS).
