  • Communicating Science workshop led by Kayla Arnold, CFAES Graduate Education Program Manager
    Tuesday, November 23, 4:00-5:00pm
    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.
