Communicating science to the public is more important than ever before. Whether sharing the impacts of lab research or discussing vaccine efficacy, there are strategies for meaningful engagement. This minicourse provides a grounding in research on public engagement, practical strategies for clear communication in any setting, an in depth exploration of a range of ways to engage. Examples of past guest lectures include leaders in the field on trust in science, AI tool developers working to detectmisinformation, and community engagement designers in parks. This course is designed for students on any career trajectory given the importance of science communication in advancing research. There will be a field trip to the Exploratorium and possibly other venues. Class attendance is required.
