Publishing the results of scientific research presents many opportunities for scientists to discuss the outcomes with their peers. The media serves as an important conduit to disseminate research outcomes to other audiences, including the public. Understanding how the media works and how to develop effective relationships with journalists ensures your research will be reflected accurately in the press and other media.
