SCC Symposium 2022

In our inaugural symposium, we re-examined the goals of science communication, our roles in society as science communicators, and the ways in which we communicate.

Guest speakers critically discuss current practices of science communication, and how we can integrate storytelling, social justice, and non-traditional media in our work within and together with our communities.
