What are you working on? You have certainly been asked that question many times, whether it be at a Saturday night party, during a discussion with your neighbors, or at a family gathering. Communicating with a lay audience about scientific subjects and making them attractive is a difficult task. But difficult or not, you will have to do it for many years, not only with your family and friends, but also with your colleagues and collaborators. So, better learn now! Although not usually taught, the ability to explain your work to others is an essential skill in science, where communication plays a key role. Using some examples of the French Regional Student Group activities, we discuss here (i) why it is important to have such communication skills, (ii) how you can get involved in these activities by using existing resources or working with people who have previous experience, and (iii) what you get out of this amazing experience. We aim to motivate you and provide you with tips and ideas to get involved in promoting scientific activities while getting all the benefits.
你在忙什么呢？你肯定已经被问过很多次这个问题了，无论是在周六晚上的聚会上，与邻居交谈时，还是在家庭聚会上。与非专业人士交流科学主题并使其具有吸引力是一项艰巨的任务。但无论难易，你都必须要做多年，不仅要与家人和朋友交流，还要与同事和合作伙伴交流。所以，最好现在就开始学习！虽然通常不教授，但向他人解释工作的能力是科学中必不可少的技能，因为在科学中，交流起着关键作用。我们将使用法国地区学生小组活动的一些例子，在这里讨论（i）为什么拥有这种沟通技巧很重要，（ii）如何通过利用现有资源或与有经验的人合作来参与这些活动，以及（iii）从这种令人惊叹的经历中你能得到什么。我们的目的是激励你，并为你提供参与推广科学活动的技巧和思路，同时获得所有的好处。
