Developing communications skills is a vital part of the training process to prepare scientists and engineers for successful careers. The course’s goal is to provide participants with fundamental training in science communication, focusing on how to present science to a non-expert audience. Students will reach this objective through reading, writing, and classroom activities. Conciseness and clarity are valued in scientific fields, so an emphasis will be on quality rather than quantity of writing. Topics covered generally include: communicating with your target audience, communicating on the web and social media, the editing process, communication resources, and more.
