Description

Communicating science has become an integral part of a scientist’s research cycle. According to UNESCO, there are more than 7 million scientists and researchers working in labs today  -- and they are publishing approximately 2 million articles a year in various journals. With so much science being produced, how can you make sure your research gets noticed and reaches the right people?
