Master Your Research Message Workshop

If you are never sure how to start your research presentation or answer the question, “so what do you study?” this is the workshop for you. Over the course of two weeks, you will learn how to tease apart the critical aspects of your research that help your audience understand your work. This is an in-person, interactive class.

Please ensure you can attend both sessions and be prepared to do classwork and homework!

Rules of Engagement

• We’re all here to help you improve your science communications.
• Constructive feedback is essential and required.
