ChatFree Nov. 14 conference focuses on public science and communicating research to today's audiences
October 26, 2017
For the benefit of society, scientists must share their research beyond narrow, traditional academic spheres. How can we share science in a way that both engages non-experts and accurately presents complex topics?
VCU's Nov. 14 ScienceSpeak conference explores today's best practices in public science, sharing research with the world far beyond the academy.
Registration is now open. Space is limited. All members of the VCU academic community--faculty, students, research admnistrators and others--are invited to attend the sessions that will be held at BioTech One. A light breakfast and beverages will be served.
