Bill Dennison and Brianne Walsh traveled to Boston, Massachusetts on September 12-14 to teach a one-day course "Communicating Science Effectively" for U.S. EPA Region 1 staff at their office in downtown Boston. While the 25 participants had differing backgrounds and roles within the EPA, they each had one goal for the workshop: how to communicate the complex, and important data being collected into usable information for a variety of audiences. We packed a lot of material the one-day course: data visualization, conceptual diagrams, and narratives and storytelling. We look forward to following up in a few months via webinar to share how participants have been able to apply new skills in their own work!
