TOX 862 Science Communication in Toxicology
Students in scientific disciplines usually spend the majority of their time learning how to conduct cutting-edge research, and much less time learning to communicate their results and the significance of their science to diverse audiences within and outside their field of interest. The goal of this course is to help students develop buildable strategies to communicate their research clearly and accurately and convey its significance to diverse audiences. This course will be highly interactive and require active engagement in written and oral exercises with ample opportunity for feedback in a constructive and collaborative setting. By the end of the course, students will have generated several communication products and skills that can be enhanced as their academic and professional careers progress, including but not limited to a three-minute thesis/elevator speech, a compelling curriculum vitae, a podcast on a topic of interest, and strategies to augment your public, professional presence.
