Science Communication: A Biological Approach

Undergraduate

The purpose of this course is to have students learn the theories and best practices of science communication to the non-scientist, with an emphasis on biological problems and perspectives. Students will learn about different venues and types of scientific communication and will use hands-on examples to develop standards of best practice. Students will participate in weekly discussions and readings, culminating in a final presentation of their work. (Prerequisites: BIOL-2101 and BIOL-2142, or permission of the instructor.) (3 lecture hours.)
