Bridging the gap: Communicating Science Broadly
Effective communication is crucial to successful collaborations, fundraising, and science policy.
To help you understand how you can effect change in the scientific and lay community, AWIS has invited Natalie DeWitt to moderate a discussion panel with journal editors, grant writers, and science journalists about:
- the current state of science communication and publishing
- the importance of the dialog between the scientific community and the public
