Communicating Science Workshops

Workshops in Action

We are at long last seeing across the scientific community a realization that communication of science to society is a central part of doing science, not an optional afterthought. Doing this well takes training and practice. The AAAS workshops offer you an opportunity to develop your skills so that your messages are heard and your enthusiasms are felt. It's also a lot of fun!

These two clips from workshops show examples of attendees practicing their 3-point message. Our goal is to work with you to build communication skills to enhance science-public dialogue.
