Scientists have a duty to communicate their science with other scientists and non-scientists alike but evidence and recent events suggest this is not done effectively. This poor communication can lead to an increased distrust and lack of confidence in the scientific community in addition to a decrease in funding awarded to critical research programs. This workshop aims to provide an in-person opportunity for scientists to gain and practice skills to improve their scientific communication to diverse audiences through improvisational theater activities empirically supported by the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science.
