Finding Words for Physics

<!--HTML--><p><strong>Abstract:</strong> Scientists have a responsibility to share the meaning and implications of their work, both within and outside their community, but generally receive little training in writing and communication. They thus often feel unprepared to communicate with the public, the media, funding agents and even other scientists. In this talk, I will present some thoughts on science communication, focusing on tips for writing a paper for a high-impact journal in physics.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bio: &nbsp;</strong>Matteo Rini holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (University of Pavia) and a Ph.D. in Physics (Humboldt University of Berlin) and has worked as a scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and other industrial and academic institutions. His research focused on imaging ultrafast processes in liquids [Science 301, 349 (2003)] and solids [ Nature 449, 72 (2007)]. After serving as a Science Officer for the Climate-Change Directorate of the European Commission, he joined the American Physical Society (APS), where he is now the Editor of Physics Magazine.</p>
