Trainees Attend Alan Alda Communicating Science Workshop

Twenty-two trainees spent Valentines Day 2020 working hard to develop and refine their science communication skills during our second visit from Alan Alda Communicating Science Workshops. We welcomed three trainers, Josh Rice, Carol Schindler and James Rea who ran the sessions at the University Sheraton for the day. Eight attendees were returning for a second year and an afternoon workshop was designed just for them to build on skills from last year. The Alan Alda Method includes a series of improvisation and communication exercises to test skills and provide new tools to improve how students convey their science to all types of audiences.
