Junior researchers showcase their research on the fruit fly
PhD students and postdocs from the Cells in Motion Interfaculty Centre took part in a workshop on science communication and subsequently created articles about their research, with the support of one-on-one coaching provided by experienced communicators.
Four of our junior scientists report on various aspects of their research on the fruit fly, using different media and narrative styles.
