Effectively Communicating Science Annual One Week Workshops

该奖项旨在为科学家提供实践经验，向各种受众传达复杂的科学概念以及他们研究的质量和准确性。 调查员将通过在为期一周的年度讲习班上进行一系列互动和解决问题的练习来实现这一目标。 讲习班将使用一个详细而复杂的科学案例研究，旨在模拟一个真实的世界的科学冲突，涉及竞争的科学证据。参与者将获得关于其表现的指导和反馈，从而使他们能够在特定环境中试验和实践最有效的方法。此外，与会者将讨论有关专家科学交流的伦理问题。讲习班的主要广泛影响是培训积极从事教学、研究、写作和出版的科学家如何提高他们的交流技能。一旦参与者完成讲习班，他们将加入讲习班的其他毕业生作为“研究员”，并形成一个训练有素的科学家网络，他们将教育其他学生和同事在各种公共论坛上有效传播科学知识，研究和过程的方法。

This award aims to provide hands-on experience to scientists in communicating complex scientific concepts and the quality and accuracy of their research to a variety of audiences. The investigators will achieve this aim through a series of interactive and problem-solving exercises in annual week-long workshops. The workshops will use a detailed and complex science case study designed to simulate a real world scientific conflict involving competing scientific testimony. Participants will receive coaching and feedback on their performances thereby allowing them to experiment and practice with what works best in a given context. In addition, participants will discuss ethical issues concerning expert scientific communication.The primary broader impacts of the workshops are training scientists who are active in teaching, researching, writing, and publishing on how to improve their communication skills. Once participants complete the workshop, they will join other graduates of the workshop as "Fellows" and form a network of trained scientists who will educate other students and colleagues on the methods of effectively communicating scientific knowledge, research, and process in a variety of public forums.
