“It was quite an easy process to go through. It just takes a few steps. You start with your paper or text abstract that you've already got, then you start breaking it down to make it more accessible to a wider audience. It’s the visual impact you can have through video that gives people an idea of what you’re talking about and why it’s important to them”.

“In our in our case, we work a lot with farmers and we want our research to reach farmers, to actually help make positive change. So, it's important to not only communicate through journals or through conferences. We want to get in touch with our stakeholders like farmers, like policymakers, who are not interested in reading journal articles most of the time.”

“I follow inspirational researchers and colleagues and some follow me! So I know researchers use social media. Video Abstracts allow you to communicate with this audience as well as a diverse range of stakeholders, including in languages you don’t speak. With AI Tools, I think they will get easier and easier to make and share.”
