Whether you are looking for dedicated training to demystify the media or develop a social media plan, design a K-12 outreach project, or get better at talking about science with policymakers or other stakeholders, science communication training can bolster your confidence and skills. WySCI is here to connect you to trainings, collaborate on customized trainings, and more. Scroll down for training resources and our current trainings calendar.

A scicomm training reason that might surprise you:

Meet grant-based work expectations
