Media Preparation: Tips for Engaging with the Public

You have your PhD, and you’re engaged in your work. What do you do when you get a call from your university’s communications office to tell you that you are being asked to discuss your work on the radio, or that your last grant caught the attention of NPR and you need to prepare for the reporter’s interview? This session, administered by the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences’ (AAAS)  Center for Public Engagement with Science & Technology, is a short version of their broader “Communicating Science” workshop.

Our AGEP has contracted AAAS to provide this seminar, at no cost to you. This topic was requested by past participants, and while we attempted bring this workshop to you in the past, we are very excited to have the opportunity to bring them to you this year. This seminar will be held at 11:30 AM on Saturday, August 20, 2016, and is part of the SSI's 7:30 AM - 2:30 PM program at the Hotel at Arundel Preserve, near Arundel Mills Mall. Please register and plan to attend! WEBSITE with agenda and registration information:  https://promiseagep.wordpress.com/2016/05/02/promise-summer-success-institute-ssi-august-20-2016/.
