2015-2016 Membership:
Below you will be required to choose the type of registration for the symposium (student or professional). The costs of registration include a membership ($5 for students/$10 for professionals), good through October 2016.
Workshop on Wednesday, November 18th (1-5 pm):
Bebe Crouse of The Nature Conservancy will offer a Science Communication Workshop to help you communicate all of your great work in a way that non-scientists can understand. If you deal with funders, government officials, community leaders, media, or the public, this training is for you. You’ll learn how to tell compelling stories about the work you do, ace media interviews, and find your way around difficult jargon. This workshop is interactive so come ready to talk about projects or other aspects of your work that you need to communicate to non-scientists.
Bebe Crouse spent more than 25 years as a network level journalist including ten years as the Western and Environment editor at NPR. Her decision to move into a job with The Nature Conservancy brings together her love of the West and her education in Environmental Science.
You must be registered for the symposium to attend the Science Communication Workshop. Space is limited, so sign up early to participate. The workshop will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday November 18th (1-5pm). For more information about the workshop please see our website or email Adam Sepulveda: asepulveda(at)usgs.gov.
