Scientific Communication

Catalog description

The course is primarily designed for undergraduate students in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) disciplines who are conducting, or intend to conduct, independent research projects. Sharing research findings with the public is an essential, though often overlooked, part of the job of those in STEM fields. We will hone these techniques through a variety of written assignments, practice talks, group discussions and feedback, visits from guest speakers, and a semester-long research project. The overarching goal is for you to be able to deliver an engaging research talk.
