This course introduces students to concepts and techniques for effective communication of scientific findings, both within the scientific community and to the general public.
Students learn to express themselves in a variety of formats, including systematic natural history observations in field journals, oral presentations, scientific reports, popular science writing and advocacy pieces.
The class includes experiential and inquiry-based learning. Students go on field trips where they record observations, develop a question, conduct research, and communicate what they learn to their peers in oral and written form.
