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.

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

This event is part of a series on science communication. If you attend four or more events in the series, you will receive the “WissKomm-Basics” certificate. All events are automatically open to participants from our RMU partner universities.
