Scientific communication is crucial to encouraging engagement with the public and advancing science. The Scientific Communication course consists of a two hour research orientation session held at the beginning of the semester and a two hour exit session held at the end of the semester. In addition to the two in-person sessions, students will work with faculty and peers to hone their ability to communicate complex topics to a broad audience. These interactions will take place over the course of the semester via Blackboard and have a more flexible timeline. See special notes section for specific meeting day/time for the two in-person sessions. Students need to complete two semesters of Scientific Communications. Students are strongly encouraged to only take Scientific Communications when they are either actively involved in research or have completed at least three credits of research. See Neuroscience Research website for more details.
