* Why Study Science Communication in Spring 2017? *

1. STEM research can change the world… but only if you communicate well.

2. STEM professionals write…A LOT!

3. Aspiring STEM researchers need practice with common science genres—abstracts,
proposals, research papers, posters, etc.

Space is still available in:

"Writing 44.02: Science and Technology Writing and Presentation"
