Resources for Beckman researchers planning outreach activities
Researchers at Beckman have always conducted outreach and public engagement activities. Adding support in this area is a fairly new function of the Beckman Communications office.
Beckman's outreach and communications specialist plans the biennial Beckman Institute Open House, sets strategy for institute-level outreach activities, and offers support to researchers conducting their own activities.
Please contact Lexie Kesler for your outreach planning needs.
