This event kicks off the public portion of COMM 5660 Science Communication Workshop taught by Bruce Lewenstein which follows on March 6 & 7 9am-5pm each day. For more information see last year’s course syllabus. Read about advice from last year’s panelists in Opportunities for Public Communication of Science.

Science Communication Workshop

COMM 5660 (1 cr. B. Lewenstein, course #13779) A weekend workshop offered fall and spring that trains researchers in the sciences (including natural sciences, engineering, experimental social sciences, etc.) to communicate effectively with non-scientists such as policymakers, political stakeholders, the media, and the general public. Training activities may include role-play, reading/discussion, writing press releases and other outreach materials, and discussion with invited speakers.
