SUMMARY:Sci-prov: The Workshops - Message Crafting
DESCRIPTION:FREE WORKSHOP! Better science communication through improv. This workshop will focus on message crafting!\n\n\nWorkshop Topic: Message Crafting \nThis workshop focuses on individuals practicing the delivery of their own messages. Activities focus on refining their messages without jargon\, varying timelengths\, enhancing stories with emotion\, and pivoting when needed. \nThis workshop will take place in room 1145 in the Discovery Building. \nSpace is limited – RSVP required! \n\n\nThese 2-hour workshops are designed for graduate students\, post-docs\, staff\, and faculty in STEM related fields who want to sharpen their ability to communicate effectively and adaptively.
