Martin Hendry

Description
The LISA Consortium Advocacy and Outreach Group (“AdvoReach” for short) supports and coordinates communications and advocacy about LISA amongst four main groups:
(1) the Consortium itself, promoting regular exchange of information between the different science teams;
(2) the gravitational-wave community, cooperating with scientists working on projects that span the gravitational-wave spectrum;
(3) the wider astronomical community, particularly in areas of common, complementary science;
(4) the non-scientific community, raising awareness of LISA amongst journalists, politicians and decision-makers, educators, students and the general public.
In this overview talk I will briefly highlight some of the many projects through which AdvoReach interacts with the above audiences (both face-to-face and via online engagement) and the many ways in which you can get involved in our AdvoReach activities.
