This program assists graduate and postdoctoral students in developing highly understandable, compelling written and oral accounts of their research for nonspecialized audiences. Topics include interpersonal and public speaking, adapting to various audiences, and using metaphors and analogies for clarity and effective description.
As a result of this time-efficient and focused approach, participants will have the tools to adapt to diverse communication contexts, exhibit greater success during job talks, enhance clarity when writing grant requests or proposals, and develop greater confidence during informal conversations with professional and personal contacts.
Although the class meets during the mornings, participants are expected to work on their written and oral drafts during the afternoons.
