Atelier-Formation sur la vulgarisation scientifique
À quoi ressemble un bon texte de vulgarisation scientifique? Quels sont les secrets pour expliquer de façon simple quelque chose de compliqué, comme un projet de maîtrise ou de thèse?
Le Journal La Synthèse, en collaboration avec le service des communications de l’INRS, vous invite à un atelier pratique donné par nulle autre que Audrey-Maude Vézina, conseillère en communication scientifique et gestionnaire des réseaux sociaux de l’INRS. Audrey-Maude a publié de nombreux articles de vulgarisation scientifique et a remporté la prestigieuse bourse Fernand-Séguin en 2018. Ce prix lui a permis de réaliser des stages en tant que journaliste scientifique chez l’agence Science-Presse, Québec Science, La Presse ou encore Radio-Canada.
Lors de cet atelier, vous découvrirez les coulisses de la communication scientifique. Vous serez amené à analyser de courts textes de vulgarisation scientifique pour en identifier les forces et les faiblesses et proposer des améliorations. Trucs et astuces vous seront donnés pour que vous puissiez vous-même rédiger un article vulgarisé qui pourrait être publié dans le Journal La Synthèse.
→ Vendredi 4 mars, de 13h à 14h30, sur Zoom.
