As the 50 graduate students from around the country who were selected for the ComSciCon15 national workshop prepare to descend on Cambridge, MA, the full program for the workshop has been published online.
The full schedule of events listed in the program is also available as an importable Google Calendar.
The program provides biographies and portraits for the full cohort of 26 invited experts joining us as panelists, speakers, and facilitators at the workshop. These include Liz Bass, founding director of the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science; Kevin Grazier, planetary scientist and science advisor for Battlestar Galactica and other popular programs; and Bill McKibben, journalist and environmental activist, who will appear remotely via video.
Also included are a full listing of our graduate student attendees, and the abstracts for the posters that will be presented in the session on Saturday morning. Their abstracts cover everything from outreach programs for underserved K-12 schools (such as Earth Explorers); a video production team (GreenScreen) highlighting action in conservation, environmental health, and climate change; to web resources for scientists exploring careers in science communication (SciComm Hub). We will also be joined by several Boston-area science outreach organizations, including the Journal of Emerging Investigators.
ComSciCon 2015 is sponsored by Harvard University, MIT, the University of Colorado at Boulder, the American Astronomical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science & Science Careers, the American Chemical Society, and the Microsoft New England Research and Development Center. ComSciCon’s organizing committee of graduate students from around the country is also listed in the program.
