ChatGPD Ep. 18 — Science Communication: Bringing research to the community
Current Students, Prospective Students
What happens to groundbreaking research if no one outside the field ever hears about it?
In this month's episode of our ChatGPD Podcast, Dr. Betty Zou, Senior Research Communications Officer at the University of Toronto's Temerty Faculty of Medicine, shares how she translates complex medical and scientific research into clear, accessible stories for the public.
After completing a PhD in microbiology, Dr. Zou built a career at the intersection of science and communication. She discusses her journey into the field, reflects on the skills and experiences that helped her get there, and explores how social media and AI are reshaping the way research is shared and understood.
Tune in for practical advice on communicating science and applying your graduate training to make research more accessible and engaging for wider audiences.
