GradSciComm Report and Recommendations: Mapping the Pathways to Integrate Science Communication Training into STEM Graduate Education

January 1, 2014 | Public Programs, Professional Development, Conferences, and Networks, Informal/Formal Connections
In late 2012, COMPASS received NSF grant number 1255633, “A Workshop to Explore Building Systemic Communication Capacity for Next Generation Scientists.” Known in shorthand and on twitter as #GradSciComm, the work comprises three major components, culminating in this report: (1) To assess the current landscape of science communication workshops, courses, and trainings available to graduate students in the STEM disciplines; (2) To convene a workshop of science communication trainers, scholars, science society leaders, funders, administrators, and graduate students; and (3) To provide concrete recommendations to agencies, institutions, and individuals for integrating science communication skills into STEM graduate education.
