Training and Experience

"Scientific discoveries mean nothing if they are not shared. Effective communication requires trust, mutual understanding, and dynamic two-way connections in which audience members help build meaning and find ways to engage with new or complex information. This program is offered in collaboration with the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science, one of the nation's leading science communication training and research organizations in the country."  

In the certificate program, I have:

• Received hands-on skills training to combine my deep subject-matter knowledge with evidence-based communication practices

• Prepared myself to engage in audience-centered science communication that is meaningful, relatable and upholds scientific integrity

• Learned to share scientific discoveries in ways that resonate with diverse audiences

• Designed targeted messaging that responds to the needs, values, and cultures of an audience

• Supported diversity and inclusion through written and verbal communication
