Can you please send the information below about this exciting science
communication conference to your PCC graduate students? Thank you!


Applications are open for ComSciCon-PNW 2026 in Portland, OR, on March 25th
- a science communication conference for graduate students, by graduate
students. Applications are due by January 31 at 11:59pm. Apply here
<https://forms.gle/DEBm2HkbTF2bxv4RA>!

ComSciCon-PNW is one of multiple chapter conferences around the country
that stem from the ComSciCon <http://comscicon.com/> national conference, a
science communication workshop for graduate students which has been held
annually in Cambridge, MA since 2013. This conference is a unique
professional development program that is organized by and for STEM graduate
students. ComSciCon workshops provide attendees with opportunities to
develop critical science communication pieces, learn from professionals
local to their region, and network with like-minded students. Workshops
also prepare students to publish the pieces developed during the chapter
workshop in national science communication outlets that partner with
ComSciCon!

This year’s ComSciCon-PNW conference is organized by UW’s Engage program
and OHSU graduate students in conjunction with SciTalk, a national
conference hosted by the Association of Science Communicators in Portland,
Oregon. ComSciCon participants will attend the ComSciCon-PNW Chapter
conference on March 25th and have the option to attend SciTalk on March
26-27th. A free one-year membership to the Association of Science
Communicators will also be granted to ComSciCon-PNW attendees! This gives
ComSciCon attendees the unique advantage of creating publishable ComSciCon
pieces, developing their communication skills, and networking with each
other before participating in the professional conference on the following
days. We are excited to provide accepted applicants with SciTalk conference
registration, lodging support, and travel support, for both ComSciCon-PNW
and SciTalk. If you are interested in attending, please fill out this
application form <https://forms.gle/DEBm2HkbTF2bxv4RA> by January 31 at
11:59pm.

Please let us know if you have any questions, and we look forward to seeing
you at ComSciCon-PNW!

Best,

Becca Blyn, on behalf of the ComSciCon-PNW Organizing Committee
