Effective Science Communication/Thesis Thursday
 “If you can’t explain it to a six-year-old, you don’t understand it yourself.” – Einstein

Effective science communication is a critical component in conveying our discoveries to the public. In addition, the ever increasing interdisciplinary research required to solve complex problems compels us to develop open lines of communication with scientists outside our own discipline. For more reading on the topic see here<https://t.e2ma.net/click/z6pvlc/j624jbb/nheoom>, here<https://t.e2ma.net/click/z6pvlc/j624jbb/39eoom> and here<https://t.e2ma.net/click/z6pvlc/j624jbb/j2foom>.
Want to improve your skills in science communication? Consider these ideas:

  *   Take a course or consider a Science Communication Graduate Certificate. For more information see https://science.arizona.edu/graduate-certificate-science-communication<https://t.e2ma.net/click/z6pvlc/j624jbb/zugoom>.
  *   Create meet-up events focusing on a specific aspect of science communication. These could be within your own graduate program or College wide. Use our online form<https://t.e2ma.net/click/z6pvlc/j624jbb/fnhoom> and we will help connect you.
  *   ComSciCon is a Communicating Science workshop organized by graduate students for graduate students. Each workshop taps into a network of affiliated experts. Acceptance to the workshop is competitive; attendance is free, and travel support and lodging will be provided to accepted applicants. For more information see https://comscicon.com<https://t.e2ma.net/click/z6pvlc/j624jbb/vfioom>.
