[Nhcoll-l] AIBS Communications Boot Camp for Scientists: We'll Come to Your Institution

[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
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 Training 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.

The Boot Camp is an intensive, two-day, hands-on training program that is
offered periodically in Washington, DC. We can also bring the program to
your university, department, lab, or institution. We will work with you to
customize the program based on your needs.

Participants will learn:

   - How to translate scientific findings for non-technical audiences
   - How to tell a resonant story that informs decision-makers
   - How to prepare for and participate in a news interview
   - How to prepare for and engage in a meeting with a decision-maker
   - How to protect your scientific reputation
   - How to identify and define the audience you need to reach
   - What decision-makers want to hear from a scientist
   - What reporters are looking for in an interview
   - How to leverage social media
   - How the nation’s science policy is developed and implemented


*We'll come to you*
