Enrollment: Unlimited: Advance sign-up required

GECD and ODGE are thrilled to welcome back Jean-luc Doumont for his annual IAP lectures on excellence in communication --

Scientists are often perceived as living in their own impenetrable world.  Jean-luc discusses the challenges of communicating with a lay audience, and presents effective strategies for overcoming the challenges.  Most of these strategies apply to communicating to scientists as well.  They are universal good ideas - heeding the advice becomes more critical when the audience is less specialized. Advanced registration requested CareerBridge.
