A better communicator is always a better scientist, or the reason why every PhD student should engage in science outreach
The ability to communicate with all audiences is a skill that is rapidly becoming a must-have for any future scientist. As more physicists engage in communicating science to non-expert audiences, research shows that this experience helps them to get a better understanding of their own research and t...
