Science communication training

Science communication is more important than ever
Beckman researchers are at the cutting-edge of science and technology research. It’s incredibly important, though, that they’re able to translate that work to the general public. That means being able to explain the basics of what their research is and why it matters.
Beckman’s outreach office is happy to provide instruction on science communication. Get started with these resources:
- PowerPoint presentation with tips from Outreach Manager Lexie Kesler
- “From Lab to Narrative,” a how-to guide from the Association of Science Communicators
