ABOUT THE COURSE

VISION: Our goal is to create and nurture a group of scientist-photographers in India who, through their images, can inspire the public to care about science. The idea is to teach scientists to be more ​“visually literate” in order to empower them to more effectively communicate their work. In the long term, we hope to serve as a platform for effective science communication, through photographs and science-based stories, that is open and accessible to all. 

Shoot for Science is an intensive eight-day workshop, for early career Indian science practitioners including Research Fellows, Ph.D. students and Post-Doc Fellows who are studying biology and are keen to learn how to communicate science using photographs. The workshop is scheduled for February 19^th to 27^th of 2017 at the National Centre for Biological Sciences(NCBS), Bangalore. In this workshop, the participants will be introduced to both technical and conceptual elements of science photography.
