There is something special about communicating research to a general audience and engaging with the public. It's a two-way street. It allows you to understand your own work in more relevant terms.  The process of communication and public engagement can help you to refine your thinking.

It also helps you to maximise the impact of your research. Through communication engaging with the public, most often the beneficiaries of the work you do, you can learn and then shape your research to increase its impact.  Whether its younger people, older people, patients, policymakers, an industry sector - there are always key stakeholders who you need to focus on.
