Explaining Research: Effective and Engaging Communication of Science
Instructor: Cornelia Dean
Senior Scholar: Torrey Truszkowski
Have you ever struggled to tell your grandparents about your dissertation research? This 3-part training module will help you turn those blank faces in the audience into smiles of understanding. Covering a wide variety of audiences, including journalists, students, the general public and Members of Congress, you will learn how to discuss your scientific endeavors with people who last took a science course in high school. Well done science communication opens many doors for you - especially if you are thinking about leaving academia. Cornelia Dean of the New York Times leads the module as her last course in her artist in residence position.
Graduate students and postdocs are welcome to register here.
