This program is part of Comm 5660, Science Communication Workshop, taught by Bruce Lewenstein. This weekend workshop, March 7-8 (for enrollees only), trains researchers in the sciences (including natural sciences, engineering, experimental social sciences, etc.) to communicate effectively with nonscientists such as policy makers, political stakeholders, the media, and the general public. Training activities may include role-play, mini lectures, reading/discussion, hands-on writing blog posts and other outreach materials, real-time practice being interviewed for the media, and discussion with invited speakers. More info and how to enroll in the weekend workshop here.
