If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then, at 25 pictures per second, video is a priceless tool for communicating in the booming online world.

To find out how to whip out your smartphone and create video that tells your story to the media (or journals), join Dr Joe Milton from the Australian Science and Media Centre (who run the SciMex news portal) and Grant Smyth from Flinders’ Media Team tomorrow at Bedford Park.

With the explosion in digital media bringing a seemingly endless demand for science news in a visual format, journal publishers are also increasingly asking for video abstracts to accompany research papers.

What kind of visual material are the media looking for and how can you use this knowledge to communicate your research to the public?

Join us to find out.
