When
Join the CAMBIUM and the Lovejoy Center Professional Development Series!
Overview: Career development and science communication are critical to preparing students for success in STEM.
The annual CAMBIUM-Lovejoy Professional Development Workshop Series connects graduate students with resources that support them on their academic journey, from communicating complex research effectively to positioning them for successful careers.
This year, we dive deeper into science communication. Over the course of the series, participants will leverage their skills and knowledge to craft an effective SciComm piece ready for publication on various local or national outlets.
All are welcome – past workshop attendees have included graduate students ranging in discipline from ecology to science policy to natural history museum science, as well as undergrads, faculty, staff, postdocs and community members.
When: 1:30-3 p.m., usually on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month
