The Sharing Science Program (sharingscience.agu.org) at AGU will host three workshops at AGU 2016 (fallmeeting.agu.org/2016) focused on science policy & communication:
Communicating Science Workshop - This interactive workshop for scientists at all communication-experience levels will focus on some of the more difficult aspects of communicating science, including strategies for getting started, tips for engaging various audiences, and advice on avoiding potential pitfalls. Small-group discussions and mock interviews will offer veteran communicators and novices alike the chance to practice creating and delivering messages about their science: http://tinyurl.com/p63pox8 Science Storytelling Video Workshop - Scientists will learn first-hand in this workshop how to shoot video in the field. After basic instruction, participants will be sent out in teams with camera gear to film a short story. Then, the large group will deconstruct the videos, highlighting both the good stuff and areas for improvement. Participants are encouraged (but not required) to bring their own camera equipment: http://tinyurl.com/paff5vm The Next Frontier: Science Communication and Outreach Workshop for Established Scientists - Whether you are already an experienced science communicator or have just begun to be interested in sharing your work with wider audiences, you can gain new knowledge and hone your skills at this short workshop on science communication: http://tinyurl.com/o46tsfh Space is limited and advance sign up is required. Please direct questions to sharingscie...@agu.org.
