????????????????New Voices in Science

Responsible science communication is about sharing research insights simply and confidently, without falling into the trap of sensationalism. The New Voices in Science programme offers doctoral candidates communication training and then provides them with various platforms for sharing their science. Now in it's fourth year, the competition has become one of the highlights on the Stellenbosch 肆客足球 calendar.
