The application will close on March 1st.

Acceptance to the workshop is competitive. Attendance is free, and travel support and lodging will be provided to accepted applicants.

Participants will build the communication skills that scientists and other technical professionals need to express complex ideas to the general public, experts in other fields, and their own peers. In addition to panel discussions (on topics such as Creative Storytelling, Science Journalism, and Diversity/Inclusivity), ample time will be allotted for networking with science communication experts and developing science outreach collaborations with fellow graduate students.

Apply here today!

Interested students might also consider applying for the Individualized Professional Skills Program Grant to help fund their attendance of this program or other similar programs that support graduate student professional development.
