It is incredibly important that scientists communicate their research in ways that the general public can understand. In this session, we will discuss tips on how to communicate your work to non-scientists as well as how to write a clear and concise project narrative. This session will be helpful for students submitting to the IGP Graduate Competition. Presented by Kayla Arnold, Graduate Education Coordinator

Graduate school can be tough, which is why you can't do it alone. It's important to build professional relationships with fellow graduate students, faculty members, and (most especially!) your advisor. But this isn't always easy to do. What do you do if you don't "click" with your cohort? How do you work with an advisor who seems distracted or difficult to communicate with? What if you've decided on a nonacademic career, but you're unsure if your advisor will be supportive? What do you do if you're experiencing discrimination or harassment?

Have you ever been in a situation like that and wanted to say or do something, but didn't know what to do? Anyone can become an active bystander and learn to address explicit and implicit bias. In this 2-hour, interactive webinar, we will explore some of the most common forms of bias and identify tools you can use as an active bystander to interrupt bias in daily life.
