The Graduate School/Graduate Student Senate (GSS) Professional Development Event: Drop the Jargon and Get to the Point!
How to Effectively Communicate your Research to a Wide Range of Audiences
Tuesday, March 4th
6:00-7:30 pm
Laurel Hall Room 102
Reception 7:30-8:00pm in Lobby
Effectively communicating science to a wide range of audiences is becoming an increasingly needed skill for scientists of all disciplines.
Dr. Ellen Prager is a marine scientist that has moved away from traditional career paths and now focuses much of her time on communicating earth and ocean science to broad audiences through writing popular science and children's books, public speaking, working with the media, and consulting.
She has also applied these skills to fundraising and government relations, and has been on numerous television and radio shows as an expert, including The Today Show, CNN, Good Morning America, MSNBC, The Weather Channel and more. Using both her successes and failures as examples, she will share what she's learned about effectively communicating science and how you can be better prepared and successful. She will also let you in on some of the secrets to engaging your audience and getting your points across.
