Do you want to more effectively communicate your research?
This summer, Rackham Graduate School and the RELATE team invite you to participate in the RELATE communication training workshop for STEM researchers. If you are interested in improving your communication skills and engaging in scientific communication to lay-audiences, then the RELATE workshop is for you! Here are details of what you will gain during the 6 week Communication Fundamentals Workshop:
- Learn effective communication techniques in order to talk with lay-audiences about your research
- Build a polished elevator pitch and a short lay-audience style talk on an area of interest in your field
- Make a video of your talk that you can share as part of a professional portfolio (on social media, LinkedIn, etc.)

More about RELATE:
RELATE is a science communication training and public engagement organization that facilitates conversations between researchers and local communities. During our practice-based workshops, graduate students and early career researchers develop lay-audience communication skills and create an original portfolio of digital media and oral presentations. Workshop participants then put their communication skills into action and engage with Southeastern Michigan communities both online and through our public engagement events.
