Are you ready to transform how you communicate science?

The Art of Science Communication is an eight-week online course designed to help scientists craft clear messages for both expert and non-expert audiences.

Why is science communication essential, and how can it benefit your career? 

With participants from 18 countries including 34 U.S. states, our course has supported scientists at all career stages — undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and industry professionals — and guided them in small and highly interactive groups to connect with audiences, build public speaking confidence, and introduce tools for mastering storytelling and using body language to covey complex scientific messages.  

This course equips you to share your discoveries.

We created this infographic as a tool to illustrate how you can benefit from the Art of Science Communication and our inclusive mission.

We can all share science effectively.
