Engaging with journalists can improve the coverage of science in the media and increase public understanding about science. The University of Washington’s Conservation of Living Systems (CLS) program is offering a Science Communication and the Media course to prepare senior graduate students with hands-on training and the skills to deliver clear, compelling messages about their work to journalists and the public. The course will culminate in an all-day workshop with some of the nation’s leading journalists who will offer their insights and expert advice.
