Communication Training Resources (from Rose Hendricks)
This article about the new “Science Communication Training Network” which includes a range of different orgs that train scientists to communicate. Links embedded in the article will allow people to see the full list of participants and their organizations.
Training programs that may be of interest:
- ComSciCon (for graduate students, with workshops around the US and Canada – I am a leader of this organization),
- Story Collider (as the name suggests, a particular emphasis on communicating about science through narrative),
- AGU’s Sharing Science Workshops (they visit campuses),
- AAAS’s Communicating Science workshops (also visits campuses),
- Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science (SUNY Stonybrook, an emphasis on learning to communicate about science through improve exercises),
- COMPASS SciComm
- Science Talk (a conference for science communicators with diverse backgrounds and interests to meet and learn from each other),
- SciLine (through AAAS – helps connect scientists and journalists), improvscience (focuses on consulting and training for scientists at the leadership/communication nexus),
- Portal to the Public (focuses on connecting members of the public to science in their community and helps scientists learn to engage in this way)
