Support for Communication Workshops

越来越多的科学家被要求向公众、民选官员和媒体解释他们的研究。给普通听众做演讲所需要的技巧与做科学演讲所需要的技巧不同。在2017年和2018年的科学会议上，每年将组织三次研讨会，为科学家提供学习如何与公众和其他普通受众沟通的机会。以下研讨会将在由湖泊与海洋科学协会（ASLO）主办的2017年2月水生科学会议和由ASLO和其他两个海洋学学会主办的2018年2月海洋科学会议上组织：视频工作坊，指导制作向外行观众讲解科学的短视频。2. 2 .科学传播研讨会，提供小组实践会议，参与者将获得改进沟通技巧的指导，以便在向公众、民选官员和媒体成员作报告时使用。跨学科报告研讨会，其中一些选定的口头报告将在包括报告者在内的观众面前进行批评。水生科学界的成员越来越有兴趣学习如何提高他们的沟通技巧，制作有效的视频并向公众展示他们的工作。这一努力将鼓励更广泛地向公众和其他受众传播有关nsf支持的研究的信息。

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.
