The document outlines an activity for researchers to practice communicating their work to non-specialists. It instructs researchers to work in pairs to summarize their partner's research in 90 seconds for their group, and then as a group to develop two short presentations in different styles on one selected research topic. The presentations will be delivered to the full course, with prizes for the best group. The goal is for researchers to improve communicating their own work to broader audiences and gain insight into public awareness of research.
