Thai Summer School on Science Communication 2023
November 06-10, 2023, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand
So why should you join?
In many current debates it is becoming increasingly difficult for science to make its voice heard. In times of so-called alternative facts scientific results are sometimes even deliberately ignored or manipulated to gain advantages.
In the future, this social debate will become increasingly stronger and probably also more aggressive.
Many researchers are consciously withdrawing more and more from this discussion. There are certainly many reasons for this, but it ultimately leads to the debate being conducted less and less with empirically verifiable data and more emotionally charged, irrational and interest-driven in the long term.
The withdrawal of scientists from the discourse is largely due to a lack of time, knowledge and structures.
The TS3C brings together young scientists to give them an idea on how to communicate their science.
TOPICS
The Thai Summer School on Science Communication will cover a broad range of topics in the field of science communication. Due to the expertise of the hosts, many examples will be drawn from the field of physics. However everyone is invited to join and discuss their science.
Application
Application to the TS3C is closed.
The Thai Summer School on Science Communication is supported by DAAD. Thus we can organize the school free of charge. However due to large interested we have to make a selection of students.
Application to the TS3C is done via e-mail.
Please send a mail including a short CV and a 1-page letter of motivation. In addition please include a English language proficiency certificate.

Lecturers
The Thai Summer School on Science Communication will feature experienced science communicators who will cover a broad range of science communication formats.
Marcus Bleicher is a professor for Theoretical Physics at the Goethe University in Frankfurt. Being the head of various research programs he is interested in getting the science out of the ivory tower into the public – mostly in the digital space.
Manuel studied biochemistry and molecular biology and completed his doctorate in 2017. As a long-time science slammer, he dedicated himself to science communication during this time and was also active as a lecturer in student laboratories and as a freelance trainer. After his doctorate, he worked for a while as Science Communication Officer at the Luxembourg Center of Systems Biomedicine. Since 2021, he has been Head of Communications and Public Relations at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen. It is important to him that scientific topics are made accessible to a broad audience outside the academic world.
In his interactive workshops, Manuel shows how complex content can be explained in an understandable way. Efficient and targeted presentation techniques, but also scientific and popular science writing are the main topics in his courses. He also organizes and moderates science slams at regional and national level.
Brad is a scientist turned science journalist. While studying mind altering parasites for his PhD degree Brad found his passion for science communication and journalism. After moving from his home in Canada to Europe, he embarked on a freelance writing, podcasting and science communication career. Now, his written and audio stories have appeared in publications such as Scientific American, Undark, Chemistry World, Hakai and more. Brad believes compelling storytelling and an understanding of your audience are essential for effective science communication. His workshops show scientists how to find their audience and craft stories while teaching practical skills to improve their writing or create a podcast.
The world of science is full of captivating characters and stories, let Brad help you bring them to life.
Sascha Vogel is a theoretical physicist and science communicator, with a background in nuclear and particle physics. His career started in science, then he went to science management and ended up in science communication. He founded an agency for science communication, which successfully runs projects and workshops since 2019.
As a trainer and speaker, Sascha specializes in science communication, presentations and career development.
With years of experience in academic research, industry, and public engagement, Sascha understands both the scientific and communication challenges researchers face. His workshops equip participants with practical tools and strategies to enhance their communication skills, whether for conferences, media interactions, or public outreach.
