Crow Talk

This from Pacific Science Center and the UW......

Graduate students in the sciences at the UW get a lot of cutting edge training but rarely in the ways of explaining their research to non-specialists. Engage: The Science Speaker Series is a pilot program where PhD students build their skills of communicating with the public about their work. This year, we showcase the research of mostly Astronomy PhD students; next year we will plan a seminar whose sole purpose is to make an engaging science talk the entire family would understand and appreciate.This is brought to you by the UW Graduate and Professional Student Senate and the Forum on Science, Ethics, and Policy. Admission is free.

Venue: Physics and Astronomy Auditorium, Room 118, UW Campus. Public talks are every other Wednesday. Doors open at 6:45pm, talk will be about 30 minutes with lots of timefor questions. For more Information, click here.
