Hello all, I wanted to let you know we still have a few spaces available for our 2 week course Telling Stories about Science: Science Communication in the digital age course this summer. This course consists of lectures, hands-on activities, and projects that put skills into practice. Our lessons are drawn not only from our faculty's professional experience, but from the latest research on how to engage your audience -- yes, the science of science communication. Students will put their new knowledge to work with the help of expert science storytellers in every medium: writing, radio, photography, and film. They will learn how to tell compelling stories, and use readily available hardware and software tools to produce professional-quality multimedia content. By the end of the course, each student will have produced a science communication mini-portfolio -- a collection of science stories told through writing, audio, and video. Objectives of course:
* To provide scientists with skills to communicate to diverse non-science audiences through writing, audio, and video. * To produce a series of science stories in a variety of media, enabling students to put their new skills into practice.
