Communicating Science to the General Public

Description: While scientists are trained to communicate and pass information to their colleagues clearly with precision, presenting complicated subjects to non-scientists is often a challenge.  Education and outreach is becoming more and more an important aspect of many research initiatives and the most successful scientist are those that have learned to engage the public and non-scientist effectively. We will explore ways to build the skills necessary for effective and engaging communication with non-science audiences.  Surprisingly, the same skills can make you a better communicator in the traditional scientific setting.
