Course Description
This course is designed to expose students in the natural sciences and other disciplines to the various forms and practices of science communication and to provide a solid foundation to communicate scientific research to audiences other than fellow scientists in the same field. Held in a seminar-style integrating lecture, presentations, in-class readings, discussions and hands-on activities, the course goes beyond science journalism, i.e. students will learn about opportunities in science communication in other capacities. This course will give students opportunities to practice telling science stories and publish them. Students enrolled for 501 must produce a science feature story that meets the publication requirements for UANews. In addition, 500 level students must prepare an in-class presentation on a topic of their choice. Topics will be presented and discussed at the beginning of the semester.
