Science Communication
Portal to the Public Science Communication Fellowship
The Portal to the Public (PoP) approach is a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded, tested strategy that helps connect public audiences with local researchers and professionals through informal learning organizations.
If you are a scientist, engineer, researcher, graduate student, or STEM professional looking to share your research with a broad audience and engage the community in current research from South Dakota, join us and become a SD Discovery Center Science Communication Fellow!
Becoming a Fellow teaches you how to effectively communicate your work to diverse audiences of all ages. You will have the opportunity to present your research during a Meet A Scientist event at the SDDC Exhibit Hall and be connected with a network of educators looking to bring scientists into their classrooms.
Science Communication Crash Course
If you don’t have the time to commit to a full Fellowship, but still want to improve your science communication skills: participate in one of Crash Course workshops. These workshops are about 2-3 hours and are offered in different parts of the state at different times throughout the year.
For more information, please contact rheawaldman@sd-discovery.org.
Custom Science Communication Workshop
Custom science communication workshops are fun, interactive professional development experiences that improve the abilities of content experts to communicate both within their teams and with external audiences. These workshops offer opportunities to learn and practice fundamental communication skills, including using analogies and understandable language, practicing questioning strategies, and crafting messages that convey the importance and relevance of a topic. Workshops can also include development of hands-on activities to help communicate content to non-experts in approachable, engaging ways.
Custom workshops range in length and can be tailored to meet the goals and needs of your group. If desired, training can include individualized follow-up consultation with participants.
