Scientists and engineers who foster information-sharing and respect between science and the public are essential for the public communication of and engagement with science. The AAAS Center for Public Engagement with Science and Technology has partnered with the National Science Foundation to provide resources, both online (www.aaas.org/communicatingscience) and through in-person workshops, to help researchers communicate more broadly with the public. This interactive workshop will include why science communication is important; the defining of audience and message in communication with public audiences; media interviews; on-camera practice; public outreach opportunities; NSF's Broader Impacts requirement; and more. Pre-registration for this full-day workshop is required; visit www.aaas.org/communicatingscience for additional information and to register.
