What makes public lectures effective?

This paper reports on comparative study of three ‘good’ public science lectures. Based on the analysis, it presents an explanatory framework composed of four clusters of elements: analogical approach, story, knowledge organisation and judicious selection of content. Of particular interest to ISE practitioners engaging in similar public engagement endeavours is the authors’ suggestion that the highest quality presentations use elements from all four clusters.
