Meet the author Sam Illingworth
Go to webinar IOP ebooks Meet the Author presents Dr Sam Illingworth
Being a scientist in the 21st century can be extremely demanding. In addition to conducting exceptional research you are expected to communicate it effectively to a variety of audiences, from scientists and students to policymakers and press officers. Sam Illingworth and Grant Allen have put together a roadmap for how to disseminate your research findings via a range of channels, such as scientific publications, press releases, social media and outreach. In this webinar Sam will guide you through his book 'Effective Science Communication, (Second Edition): A practical guide to surviving as a scientist' and the research within that will enable you to become a successful scientist.
Meet the author F J Duarte
Got to webinar IOP ebooks Meet the Author series presents Dr Duarte
Quantum entanglement (QE) is one of the most mysterious and promising subjects in physics. With applications in cryptographic space-to-space, space-to-earth and fibre communications, in addition to teleportation and quantum computing, QE goes beyond fascination and into the pragmatic spheres of commerce and the military. In this webinar author Dr Duarte will guide you through the research behind his book, Fundamentals of Quantum Entanglement. It is the first text to provide a side-by-side description of the philosophical path and the physical path to QE in a clear and cohesive manner.
