Session ID#: 13021

Session Description:
Not only is science communication an integral part of conveying the value and relevance of science to the public, policy makers, and the media, but effective communication skills are more and more necessary for all scientists as they write grants, describe the broader impacts of their work, and ensure a wide reach for their research. Many institutions are recognizing the benefit of providing—or even requiring—communications training as part of their science undergraduate or graduate curricula. We invite those who have developed or are in the process of developing these integrations between science and science communication to share their plans, methods, and the outcomes they have seen so far.
