Nothing we do in the field or lab matters if we cannot effectively communicate our work to others. Whether it is writing papers, teaching classes, speaking with policymakers, or even just chatting with family at holidays, communicating is a vital skill as a scientist. In this interactive workshop that draws from both science of communication studies and techniques from improvisational theater, participants will practice distilling their work into fun, digestible conversations about geoscience.
