We’ve all heard it: Science needs to be communicated more widely. But in a world of information overload, competing narratives, and shrinking attention spans, how do you actually get your work out there? It’s not just about simplifying your message; it’s about making it meaningful, relevant, and responsive to the audiences you’re trying to reach. That means understanding not only what you want to say, but why it matters, and to whom.
Just as important, it’s not something you do alone. Effective science communication that speaks to broad audiences often emerges through collaboration, bringing together researchers, communicators, creatives, and community voices to shape messages that resonate and have real impact.
Join the Science Communication Program in the School of Graduate Studies and Paige Brown Jarreau, PhD, from Louisiana State University in an interactive webinar from 12-1 p.m. ET on Tuesday, April 14, on how collaboration can strengthen science storytelling.
This upcoming webinar offers a chance to explore how collaboration can strengthen science communication by bringing together diverse perspectives, skill sets, and forms of expertise. Through examples and discussion, you’ll see how working across roles — whether with fellow researchers, designers, community partners, or storytellers — can expand both the reach and impact of your work.
You can register for the webinar via its UMB calendar entry.
