The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) is offering a professional development program designed to enhance the communication skills of scientists, particularly those interested in communicating with decision-makers and the news media. The program is an excellent way to develop new communication skills and identify effective methods for broadening the impact of research and education programs.

The AIBS Communications Training Boot Camp for Scientists expands on AIBS' highly successful media and science policy training workshops. The Boot Camp meets the needs of everyone from graduate students to senior researchers and program administrators to newly elected professional society leaders.

The Boot Camp is an intensive, two-day, hands-on training program in Washington, DC.

Participants will learn: 

·      How to translate scientific findings for non-technical audiences 

·      How to tell a resonant story that informs decision-makers 

·      How to prepare for and participate in a news interview

·      How to prepare for and engage in a meeting with a decision-maker 

·      How to protect your scientific reputation 

·      How to identify and define the audience you need to reach 

·      What policymakers want and need to know from a scientist 

·      What reporters are looking for in an interview 

·      How to leverage social media

·      How the nation’s science policy is developed and implemented 

Participants will have the opportunity for formal and informal discussions with science policy and communications experts working in Washington, DC. Read the course outline. <http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=3VU6F2PkVDqyoW1jUORYOwXijAI%2FWTiC>
