[HILS] Alda Center for Science Communication @ HMS!

Science in the News (SITN) and the Therapeutics Program are bringing the Alda Center for Science Communication to HMS!

Are you interested in improving your science communication skills using a method developed by Alan Alda (yes, from M*A*S*H)? The Alda center uses improvisation-based techniques to train science professionals to communicate about science. Their workshops draw from Alda's years of experience in improv comedy and his experience hosting the PBS series, Scientific American Frontiers. You can read more about the Alda center here: https://www.aldacenter.org/ We've heard from others in the scicomm community that the Alda Center's workshops and excellent, so we're very excited to be able to bring them here!

There are two ways to participate:
(1) An interactive plenary session open to all of the Harvard community. This will be held on November 29th at 5pm in NRB 350 (in Longwood). There is no need to register to attend this event.

(2) A small-group 3-day workshop. This will take place all day (8:30am-5:30pm) November 27th-29th. It will also be on the Longwood campus. We are now accepting applications to the workshop. Please do not sign up unless you are sure you can attend all three days. Sign up here by November 15th: https://goo.gl/forms/jfSL1tZyeozQ0HBr2
