Scientific Communication

Catalog description

Advancements in the fields of science, public health and medicine have always depended on effective means of communication. Likewise, so has the success of any individual scientist whether they are working in academia, government or private sectors. This is especially true today where the means of communication are changing rapidly based upon advances in technology and public health concerns. Despite the importance of communication in the sciences, graduate students have limited opportunity to learn the basic concepts of effective communication for which they can rely on and build upon as they continue with their career. Students will learn the importance of the different means of communication in their professions, and the basic concepts underlying becoming an effective communicator.
