Location 102 Baker (DCAL) Science communication transforms research into a story. The discovery of gravitational waves is an epic journey that covers over a billion years of cosmic history. Research into Antarctica’s melting ice sheet is a tale where climate scientists live in the frigid world for weeks on end, listening to the pops and bangs that radiate from the ice every time a new crack forms. And a study on Ethiopia’s plate tectonics is a daring story where researchers brave political dangers in order to better understand our shifting planet. But science communication isn’t just an art form — it’s a skill that’s necessary in today’s world. In this workshop, you will learn how to communicate your research to colleagues outside your immediate field, patients and the public at large. Not only will you learn to accurately summarize your research — often distilling years’ worth of work into a few paragraphs — you will also learn how to convey the underlying passion, excitement and resourcefulness that produced those discoveries. Regardless of past experience, you will walk away with a better understanding of how to communicate your findings. Bio Shannon Hall is a freelance science journalist and recovering astronomer based in Hanover, New Hampshire. She received her first master’s degree in astronomy before she jumped ship and received a second master's degree in science journalism. When she’s not sitting in a coffee shop writing, she can be found chasing a story — like the one that took her deep into Maine’s forests to stalk moose calves or the one that took her to Ethiopia, where the African continent is literally ripping in half. Her work appears in Scientific American, National Geographic, Discover, Nature, Sky & Telescope, New Scientist and others.
