AAAS Workshop: Fundamentals of Science Communication
01-25-2018 9:00 AM
This workshop offered by the American Association for the Advancement of Science addresses the needs of scientists and engineers to communicate scientific or technical information in a variety of public and professional interactions, such as media interviews, writing grant proposals, discussing ideas with students, testifying before Congress, or participating in public forums.
Workshop goals include building scientists' communication skill and confidence in engaging with public audiences and providing best practices for use of different communication methods and mechanisms. Through discussion, self-reflection, small group work, and practice sessions, the workshop will focus on the importance of effective communication that clearly conveys scientific concepts.
