Strong communication skills are a requirement for success in science, but many early-career scientists lack confidence and training related to aspects of their science communication. This interactive and participant-focused seminar was designed to help early-career scientists become more successful communicators. Topics covered include: identifying personal communication goals, why and how scientists communicate, tailoring communication to particular audiences, honing your message, and delivering effective presentations.
