Support for Communications Workshops: San Diego 2020/ Spain 2021

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。将在2020年和2021年的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受众交流的机会。将在湖沼学和海洋学协会(ASLO)和另外两个海洋学会举办的2020年2月水生科学会议和由ASLO举办的2021年2月海洋科学会议上组织下列讲习班：1.科学交流讲习班--小组动手会议，预先登记的参与者将获得关于改进与非专业公众、民选官员和媒体交流技能的指导。跨学科陈述讲习班--将从一般意义上对口头陈述进行评论的讲习班，以帮助促进陈述更容易为广大水生科学受众所接受，而不局限于讲演者的具体专业知识。一个题为：你如何以及为什么尝试公众宣传的研讨会？这将解决公众出游的各种目标。水产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，并将他们的工作展示给公众。这一努力将鼓励向公众和其他受众更广泛地传播关于NSF支持的研究的信息。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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 2020 and 2021 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 2020 Aquatic Sciences Meeting run by the Association for the Science of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) and two other oceanographic societies and the February 2021 Ocean Sciences Meeting run by ASLO: 1. Science communication workshop - small group hands-on sessions where pre-registered participants will be given guidance in improved communication skills to use with lay public, elected officials, and media.2. Interdisciplinary presentation workshop - a workshop where oral presentations will be critiqued in a generic sense to help promote presentations more accessible to broad aquatic science audiences beyond the specific expertise of the presenter.3. A workshop, titled: How and why do you attempt public outreach? that will address various goals of public outreach.Members of the aquatic sciences community are increasing interested in learning how to improve their communication skills 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.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
