ACS Webinars

Communicating the importance of your research — both in person and on social media — can be difficult and daunting. Part of the challenge is that you need to tailor the approach to accommodate your audience's background, whether they are scientists at a conference who don't specialize in your field, a follower on social media who hasn't taken a science class since high school, or even a child at an outreach event.
