You must also explain that work to important audiences: your colleagues, funding officers, donors, your institution’s leaders, students, your own family and friends, journalists and the public. Dennis Meredith offers invaluable tips on using new-media technologies to engage those audiences in a clear and compelling way, in this lecture based on his new book Explaining Research.
