Scientific Communication and Computing (NSCI0007)

This module is split into two major components, developing science communication skills and an introduction to scientific computing.

In the first component you will be introduced to the world of science communication, its varied practices, rationales, critics and stakeholders. You will consider how scientific ideas and technical knowledge are communicated outside the laboratory, and the central role of communication to the production of knowledge. You will be working in groups to plan and record an episode of a scientifically-focused podcast.

In the second component you will learn the fundamentals of Python, one of the most popular programming languages which is widely used in science and other disciplines. By the end of this section you will be able to use Python to perform computations, analyse data, make quantitative predictions and present results. You will be in a position to learn more sophisticated computational techniques including mathematical modelling. The final assessment will be a group investigative task.
