While scientists and journalists have many overlapping interests and skills, they often differ in their goals, resources, and expertise. This talk covers strategies, tips, and approaches researchers can use to make their interactions with writers and journalists rewarding and enjoyable. It will also cover ideas about pitching and writing for popular science and mainstream media publications. This session will be as interactive as possible, so feel free to bring your questions, concerns, and ideas.

Speaker Bio:
Patchen Barss is a Toronto-based science journalist and author. He has designed and run many workshops and training sessions for scientists and other researchers engaging in media relations and public engagement.

In this lecture, I explore the techniques employed in major observational projects such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and the upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). The focus will be on understanding the basics of the construction of correlation functions and power spectra for photometric surveys, which are critical tools for analysing the distribution of galaxies and measuring cosmic parameters such as dark energy and dark matter.

Explore particle physics with Dr. Clara Nellist at the Perimeter Institute on May 8, as she discusses CERN’s groundbreaking research. Free tickets to attend the event in person will be available on Monday, April 22 at 9:00 AM EDT. Tickets for this event are 100% free. As always, our public lectures are live-streamed in real-time on our YouTube channel - available here: https://www.youtube.com/@PIOutreach About Our Public Lectures: Our Public Lectures feature experts from all areas of theoretical physics discussing topics such as quantum computing, black holes, and dark matter. Previous speakers include world-leading researchers such as Neil Turok and Juan Maldacena. These events are a unique chance to engage with some of the groundbreaking ideas in physics happening within the building.
