Question: in which ways do you present the information that you produce?

David Wilson answered on 17 Nov 2014:

The main way we do is to publish papers. These are exactly like the write-up you might do for an experiment in school: we detail the hypotheses, methods, results and see what the results tell us etc. The paper is then “peer-reviewed”, meaning that it’s checked by another scientist to make sure that we did our work properly, then published online for all the other scientists to read.
The other main way is to present it at a conference, a big meeting of all of the people who work on the same stuff. There we might give a presentation or display a poster showing what we’ve done.
If we think the public would be interested in what we’ve done, we might make a press release or write a blog, an explanation of our work without all of the jargon and other details that only other scientists would be interested in.
If you look at my webpage http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/physics/research/astro/people/wilson and go down to publications you can find a paper, a poster and a blog post- all on the same research, but in three different ways of presenting it.
