Speaking Science: Communicating with Media, Funders, Policymakers, and the Public

Speaking Science is a science communication conference designed to help scientists, engineers, and other researchers develop stronger storytelling skills that will make their work understandable and compelling to the media, thought leaders, potential funders and general audiences. The conference is specifically designed to provide faculty, post-docs and graduate students across the University of Minnesota with a unique opportunity to learn how to better communicate their science to audiences beyond the academic community.

In interactive and small-group sessions, you will explore and understand the techniques of effectively telling the story about the impact of your research.
