Join us for a science communication panel, co-organized by MiSciWriters. A panel that includes our visiting speaker Prof. Raychelle Burks (a renown and award winning forensic chemist as well as prominent science communicator to the public on tv, podcasts, and in print), Matthew Adams (the digital content manager in the Dean's Office at LSA), Prof. Kaitlin Raimi (a UM faculty in Public Policy who is an expert in how people think about STEM-based policies and technologies), and Dr. Sarah Derouin (a freelance science journalist) will lead a conversation that addresses a fundamental challenge of STEM workers: When someone asks “what do you do?” what do you tell them? How do you convey the impact of your research to different people? These four experts will share their perspectives on how science communication can be used as a tool to translate research from the lab into the public eye. From academia and higher education administration to journalism and public policy, these panelists will discuss the tools and tactics they use in their daily work to convey information to specific audiences. Please join us for light snacks and an interactive and engaging session with these experts in science communication.
