[Jyotsna Pandey]

The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) is offering a
professional development program designed to enhance the communication
skills of scientists, particularly those interested in communicating with
the public, decision-makers, and the news media. The program is an
excellent way to develop new communication skills and identify effective
methods for broadening the impact of research and education programs.

The AIBS Communications Boot Camp for Scientists expands on AIBS’s highly
successful media and science policy training workshops. The Boot Camp meets
the needs of everyone from graduate students to senior researchers and
program administrators to newly elected professional society leaders.
