Vermont EPSCoR hosted a virtual Alan Alda Communicating Science Workshop on January 26, 2021.
The workshop, which had been held on the University of Vermont campus in previous years, went virtual this year due to restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Instructors from the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stonybrook University facilitated the half-day workshop, with exercises focused on learning strategies and techniques to better understand an individual’s personal writing process. Participants interacted in small and large groups to practice methods intended to help with their own scientific writing skills to convey information to a broad range of audiences. Participants included BREE team members, post-doctoral researchers, and graduate students from across colleges at the University of Vermont.
