有效地交换信息和发展跨学科界限的信任，协作关系的能力是至关重要的21世纪的科学家负责解决复杂和大规模的社会和环境挑战，但这些沟通技巧很少教。在这里，我们描述了一个适应性强的培训计划，旨在提高科学家在团队科学环境中进行信息交流和关系发展的能力。由生态网络科学领导者全球湖泊生态观测网络（GLEON）开发的该计划的试点表明，该培训计划提高了早期职业科学家对该计划内外基于团队的网络科学合作的信心。该计划的研究员应对了人际网络的挑战，扩展了沟通技能，并提高了他们建立专业关系的能力，所有这些都是在产生协作科学成果的背景下进行的。在这里，我们描述了关键的沟通培训要素的基本原理，并提供证据表明，这种培训是有效的建设必要的团队科学技能。
The ability to effectively exchange information and develop trusting, collaborative relationships across disciplinary boundaries is essential for 21st century scientists charged with solving complex and large-scale societal and environmental challenges, yet these communication skills are rarely taught. Here, we describe an adaptable training program designed to increase the capacity of scientists to engage in information exchange and relationship development in team science settings. A pilot of the program, developed by a leader in ecological network science, the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON), indicates that the training program resulted in improvement in early career scientists' confidence in team-based network science collaborations within and outside of the program. Fellows in the program navigated human-network challenges, expanded communication skills, and improved their ability to build professional relationships, all in the context of producing collaborative scientific outcomes. Here, we describe the rationale for key communication training elements and provide evidence that such training is effective in building essential team science skills.
