Dear UM Faculty members and Office administrators,
Please share the following advertisements with your
Graduate students about an opportunity to attend an all-expenses-paid workshop about science communication:
----------------
Are you interested in strengthening your ability to
communicate your science to the general public?
Would you like to meet other graduate students across the country who are passionate about science communication?
Do you want to network with professionals to explore science communication in all its facets?
...and all for FREE? This is your opportunity!
ComSciCon is a series of workshops focused on enhancing communication skills and fostering an inclusive community that can effectively communicate scientific information to academic and non-academic
audiences. Created in 2013 by graduate students at Harvard University and MIT, over 2000 graduate students have now benefited from learning the skills needed to communicate complex concepts within science, engineering and other technical fields to reach broader
and more diverse audiences. ComSciCon has now come to Canada to empower the next generation of leaders in STEM fields across the country.
This year, ComSciCon Canada will be holding a National Workshop (ComSciConCAN)
in a hybrid format from August 12th-14th, 2022. The conference is completely free of charge for selected attendees (travel [full or partial], lodging, and food will be provided).
The application deadline is
April 6th, 2022 and the application form is available here: https://comscicon.com/comsciconcan-2022-application
