Whether it be a conference presentation, being interviewed by a journalist, writing an article for the popular press, or something else, science communication is a crucial part of being a scientist. But most scientists aren't effective science communicators, particularly in the context of serving non-expert audiences. 

​

We're doing something about that. Actually, three somethings. 

​

We developed a free, intensive science writing internship program (May to August, 2021) for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in STEM and STEM-adjacent disciplines in Canada. Selected interns will participate in workshops facilitated by leaders in Canadian #scicomm, and contribute blog posts to this site. Sound like something you'd be interested in? Applications are now closed. Check out this page for public events! 

​

We're also conducting a survey to better understand the science communication skills, experience, knowledge, confidence, and opinions of members of the general public, science communicators, scientists, and everyone in-between in Canada. The survey is now closed. Thank you to all participants. 

​

And finally, we'll be recording and making as much of the internship program publicly available as possible. Watch our resources page for workshop videos, notes, and other materials.
