About this Event

Join us on Thursday, April 16, for Speaking Science: a full-day opportunity for faculty, staff, and graduate students to strengthen science communication skills and build connections across the University of Minnesota. This year we’ll welcome keynote speaker Caitlin Looby, PhD, Great Lakes reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and round out our day with faculty lightning talks; an array of new skills-based and topical breakout sessions; and an afternoon networking reception.


Designed for University of Minnesota faculty, research staff, post-docs, graduate students, and communications practitioners, Speaking Science is a blend of inspiring talks and practical skill building. At the full-day conference, participants are encouraged to explore topics of interest through a variety of breakout sessions – building lasting connections among systemwide SciComm activities, initiatives, and practitioners.
