Best, Miriam Miriam Bertram GCeCS adviser and PCC Assistant Director ---------- Forwarded message -------- Hello, I'm Nicole and I will be the instructor for CENV500 this coming Winter quarter. This course is run by UW Engage and teaches STEM graduate students how to communicate about their work with the public. The course accepts students on an application basis and our application is open now! If you could circulate the message below to the relevant grad student mailing list so that students are aware of this opportunity, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks, Nicole __________ Hello! We want to let you know that applications are now open for a winter graduate student course, CENV 500 (Communicating Science to the Public Effectively), also known as Engage. See the additional information below. Applications are at https://bit.ly/UWENGAGE2023 [bit.ly] and must be submitted by Friday, November 18th, 2022. Best, Nicole Gregorio ------------------------------ CENV 500: Communicating Science to the Public Effectively Winter 2023 3 credits (Credit/No Credit) Meets Wednesday / Friday 1:30-2:50pm, FSH 203 Whether you?re looking to give an unforgettable job talk, change a policymaker?s mind, or finally get your family to understand your research, the Engage course is a great professional development opportunity and learning experience. This is a discussion-based course for graduate students in the sciences that focuses on effective techniques for communicating science, with an emphasis on sharing your science with non-specialists. At the end of the quarter, each student will present a 20 minute public talk on their graduate research to be delivered during the 2023 Engage: The Science Speaker Series at Town Hall Seattle [townhallseattle.org] . In this course, students will: - Develop and practice analogies to distill their research - Perfect their elevator pitches - Practice storytelling, audience consideration, and cultural competency - Play improv games to leverage improvisation as a public speaking tool - Engage in weekly readings and discussions - Hear from guest speakers on science communication Space is limited to 15 students, and the course fills quickly, often with an extensive waiting list. Thus, we have an application process and an expectation agreement which must be completed for a student to be considered. The student application is available here [bit.ly] , and must be submitted by Friday, November 18th, 2022.
