Communicating Science

0.5 credits · Graduate

Science exists only because scientists are writers and speakers. In this course, students will hone their skills at writing and presenting science with clarity and economy. In class, students will present science, in oral and written form, and evaluate the quality of that communication. We will emphasize that conveying science is storytelling, that modeling good writing can improve one's own writing, and that making science accessible means dispensing with jargon. Enrollment is limited.
