Planning Tools: Publicity

Make a splash and do a publicity blitz with your local media outlets! Announce or recap your PhUn Week event to the public.

APS Press Release template for PhUn Week Event Announcement
Send to your community newspapers at least a week before your event.

For teachers, a press release can announce your exciting PhUn Week event to neighborhood newspapers. Teachers and principals are encouraged to tip off the education reporter/photographer a week before the APS member visits the classroom or school. Download and customize the APS Press Release PhUn Week template. After customizing your press release, send it to your community newspapers!

For APS members, a press release can highlight your community service efforts to your university and/or local newspapers before or after the outreach visit to the classroom. This is a simple mechanism to generate awareness for the significance of physiology research and science education for the general public and students. Download and customize the APS Press Release PhUn Week template. After customizing your Press Release, send it to your department or university communications office!

Taking pictures of your event with students and the visiting team of presenters? Share your photographs with the APS for possible publication in print or on the APS webpages. Be sure to have a parent/guardian of minors and adults complete and sign a Photo Release Form for photographs that include people. Candid, engaging, interactive, and hands-on "action" shots are the most appealing.
