Courtroom Communication

The Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science at the University of Dundee collaborated with the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University, USA, to proudly offer an intensive online training course, bringing together best practice from science communication training and research tailored for forensic scientists and expert witnesses.

This course is interactive and participation is required.

Over the three sessions you will learn effective communication skills allowing you to:

• Explain the theory and principles underpinning effective science communication, including the role of empathy and audience‑centred approaches in supporting understanding.
• Identify and select appropriate science communication techniques and tools to support the clear communication of scientific concepts.
• Apply and demonstrate science communication techniques in a forensic science context, effectively communicating subject‑specific information in clear, accessible language.

You will receive:

• Hands‑on, interactive practice (cameras/mics on) guided by our leading experts.
• Small cohort for tailored feedback.
• Final practical assessment & certificate.
