Dr. Florence Randrianarisoa is a doctor, presenter and science journalist. She first studied media culture and media management in Cologne and Rome, before going on to study medicine in Cologne and Fort-de-France in the Caribbean. After completing her PhD, she worked as a doctor in a hospital and now works as a television presenter (WDR’s ‘Quarks’), a science journalist for radio and television, and as a content creator.

In this English-language workshop, participants will work together to develop a personal and institutional social media strategy, their own online presence and various storytelling techniques.

As part of the ‘Open Science and Science Communication’ project, the COM Department is developing a campus-wide programme of advisory services and professional development in science communication. Researchers and staff from all disciplines and at all levels of expertise will benefit from support services and skills development initiatives. The project thus expands on existing science communication programmes in Rhineland-Palatinate (WissKomm Academy) and at the Rhine-Main Universities (RMU).

If you attend four of our events, you will receive a certificate from JGU for ‘SciComBasics’. All events are automatically open to participants from our RMU partner universities.
