"I don't understand it." "That's not for me." This is (quite) what people to whom science popularizer Daniel Stach speaks often say to themselves. They themselves do not believe that they can understand a complex scientific topic, that it will interest them and that it will be useful for them to know something about it.

At the Communication Summit, he will use practical examples to show how to communicate so that everyone can understand.
