IMET Summer Interns Learn Effective Science Communication

On June 23rd and 24th, Sidney Anderson and Lili Badri facilitated a science communication course for the REU students at IMET. The course covered the principles of science communication and designing graphics, posters, and presentations for use in presenting research and included a variety of activities on tailoring a message for an intended audience. Students were given tutorials on Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, making fast progress with each program, showcasing their creativity, and using the new concepts they learned to begin developing ways to present their summer research.
