SUMMARY:Science Communication Workshop
DESCRIPTION:COMM5660 Science Communication Workshop\nThis intensive weekend workshop introduces graduate students and post-docs in the sciences (including natural sciences\, engineering\, experimental social sciences\, etc.) to communicating effectively – especially about controversial topics\, such as climate change or evolution – with nonscientists such as policy makers\, political stakeholders\, the media\, and the general public. Activities include role-playing\, mini-lectures\, hands-on practice writing blog posts and other outreach materials\, real-time practice being interviewed for the media\, and discussion with invited speakers. \nThe weekend workshop will be offered entirely online\, through Cornell’s Canvas system and Zoom. \nThis course is supported by the Department of Communication and Careers Beyond Academia \nTo enroll for COMM 5660\nSince the course is a 7-week 1st session class and the deadline was Sept. 5\, to enroll\, please email gradcareers@cornell.edu and we will forward the list of enrollees to the registrar\, with the instructor’s consent. \nInstructor\nProfessor Bruce Lewenstein\n303 Morrill Hall\n607-255-8310 (office)\nb.lewenstein@cornell.edu (e-mail)\nOffice hours (virtual): Tuesdays\, 1:00-3:00pm and happily by appointment \nLearning Objectives\nAfter participating in this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nDiscuss science communication opportunities\, both within traditional scientific careers and as stand-alone careers\nBegin identifying characteristics of potential audiences for science communication\nWrite drafts of short texts (such as blog posts\, tweets\, and similar items) for non-scientific audiences\nBegin planning for media interviews\nDiscuss social\, ethical\, and scholarly issues associated with science communication\n\nCourse website and syllabus\n\nhttp://blogs.cornell.edu/scicommworkshop/ — the site has the most up-to-date version of the syllabus\n\nFriday\, 16 October 4:30 pm -6:00(ish) pm\nREGISTER NOW for the open\, public panel discussion on Opportunities for Public Communication in Science \nFriday afternoon begins with a panel of speakers talking about opportunities in public communication followed by some informal discussion time with the speakers and participants. \n\n\nRay Jayawardhana\, Dean of Cornell University College of Arts & Sciences\, Professor of Astronomy\, and popular science writer (most recently\, of the children’s book Child of the Universe [2020]).\nCarlyn Buckler\, Associate Professor of Practice\, School of Integrated Plant Sciences\, Cornell University\nGeoff Hunt (Cornell\, AB ‘03\, Biochemistry)\, Public Outreach Specialist\, American Society of Microbiology and co-organizer of SciEngage virtual science engagement group discussions\nJohn Clarke\, Director of Occupational Medicine\, Cornell Health\, and producer of “Health Hop®” and other rap-based public health videos\, including ones about coronavirus\n\nThe evening ends with a virtual happy hour with informal discussion with participants\, speakers and instructors. \n\nSaturday and Sunday 17 & 18 October 9:00 am – 5:00 pm both days\nEnrolled participants in COMM5660 continue throughout the weekend to learn more about public communication of science through short pre-recorded lectures.
