ANU VIJAYAN
INFLUENCE SCIENCE
From Expertise to Influence
Anu helps academics, researchers, scientists and technical experts turn expertise into influence through clear, memorable and audience-centred communication.
If you work in STEM, this may feel familiar.
You know your work matters but too often, it doesn’t land the way it should.
-
You present rigorous evidence, yet the response is polite interest rather than real engagement.
-
You struggle to make your work resonate with funders, policymakers, collaborators, or the public.
-
You’re told to “simplify” or “be more engaging,” without being shown how to do that without compromising scientific integrity.
This gap in communication is why many brilliant ideas and groundbreaking work fail to influence your audience.
Helping You Create Greater Influence
Inspire your audience with practical strategies for communicating complex ideas with influence.
Interactive, hands on training that gives your team practical communication tools they can apply immediately.
Personalised support for experts preparing for high stakes presentations and conversations.
Whether you’re looking for a keynote, a workshop, or a longer-term training program, we can explore the right format for your audience and goals.

About Anu Vijayan
I’m a published researcher, Science communicator for over 7+ years, International speaker, and the founder of Influence Science.
With a background in research and extensive experience working with schools, universities and government, I specialise in helping academics and technical experts communicate complex work with clarity, confidence, and impact without oversimplifying the science.
My work sits at the intersection of evidence, storytelling, and real-world application, supporting researchers to ensure their work is not only rigorous, but understood and acted upon beyond their immediate field.
