SCIENCE TALK ’22

Making Connections: The Many Arms of Science Communication
March 25-26, 2022
Location: Tiffany Center - Portland, OR
Have you ever struggled to explain why your science matters to someone else? Have you ever been frustrated at the way science is covered in the media or how it is "misused" in policy? SCIENCE TALK '22 will unite science communicators, practitioners, and facilitators for two exciting days of learning best practices for how to talk science better. It will feature presentations, workshops, expert panels, and networking opportunities galore.

Join us in Portland or online, March 23-25, 2022, to see what everyone is talking about.
