COURSE DESCRIPTION: Effective science communication has long held the
power to reshape our world by driving changes in policy and public
opinion. As society struggles with pandemic effects, anthropogenic
climate change, and dwindling biodiversity, there is an acute need for
scientist-communicators who can effectively convey the spectacular
power of research to address these obstacles. In this course, early-career
researchers will learn skills for high-impact, immediate engagement with
readers, including decision-makers, colleagues, and members of the lay
public. Unlike traditional writing courses, this course is focused on
capturing audience attention in concrete ways that compel action, using
common professional formats such as op-eds, memoranda, press releases,
one-pagers, and blog entries. The workshop-driven program also includes
instruction on publishing mechanics, covering topics such as pitching
your work to editors, establishing an online presence, and achieving
proficiency with graphic design fundamentals.

DATES:
- Course opens April 1st and closes June 22nd
- Live instruction: Thursdays, April 3rd - May 8th

PRICE: Begins at $500 students / $600 professionals
