Industry Career Workshop: Know Your Audience When Talking Science

Communicating about science to all audiences is a necessary skill to be a successful member of the STEM workforce. Students often first encounter this at a job interview, when they are required to describe their research to individuals with varied backgrounds, a situation that is different from explaining their research to other scientists in academia. This interactive workshop will provide attendees with the tools to put their research in perspective, tell an engaging story, and tailor their presentation to the needs of the audience.
