Journals, funding agencies, and media outlets often seek video assets when reporting on science. The good news: all of us have a camera—our cell phones—on us at all times. How can we best use this tool? No matter your resources or skill-level, you can learn to capture video of your science for use beyond the lab.
This session of BU’s Strategic Communication series addressed how video can help bring your science, proposals, and research to life. Whether you are creating your own video or working with a team, this panel discussion examined what makes a good visual story, how to distill your message and how you can use video to help bring attention and awareness to your research.
