Scientists are increasingly called upon to explain their research to the public, to elected officials and to members of the media. Giving presentations to a general audience requires skills that are different from those required to give a scientific presentation. Three workshops will be organized each year at scientific conferences in 2017 and 2018 to provide scientists with the opportunity to learn how to communicate with the public and other general audiences. The following workshops will be organized at the February 2017 Aquatic Sciences Meeting run by the Association for the Science of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) and the February 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting run by ASLO and two other oceanographic societies:1. Video workshop that provides guidance in making short videos explaining science to lay public audiences. 2. Science communication workshop that provides small-group, hands-on sessions where participants will be given guidance in improved communication skills to use during presentations to the public, elected officials, and members of the media.3. Interdisciplinary presentation workshop where a few selected oral presentations will be critiqued in front of an audience that includes the presenters.Members of the aquatic sciences community are increasing interested in learning how to improve their communication skills, create effective videos and present their work to the public. This effort will encourage the wider dissemination of information about NSF-supported research to the public and other audiences.

科学家越来越多地被要求向公众、向民选官员和媒体成员解释他们的研究。向普通观众发表演讲需要不同于科学演讲所需的技能。2017年和2018年将在科学会议上每年举办三次讲习班，为科学家提供学习如何与公众和其他普通观众交流的机会。将在湖泊和海洋科学协会(ASLO)举办的2017年2月水生科学会议和ASLO和另外两个海洋学会举办的2018年2月海洋科学会议上举办以下讲习班：1.视频讲习班，为公众提供制作解释科学的短视频的指导。2.科学传播讲习班，提供小组实践会议，指导参加者改进交流技能，以便在向公众、民选官员和媒体成员作陈述时使用。在跨学科的演示工作坊中，一些选定的口头演示将在包括演讲者在内的观众面前进行评论。水科学界的成员越来越有兴趣学习如何提高他们的沟通技能，制作有效的视频，并向公众展示他们的工作。这一努力将鼓励向公众和其他受众更广泛地传播有关NSF支持的研究的信息。
