COSIA Observation Report
05.10.2009    

Communicating Ocean Sciences to Informal Audiences (COSIA) is a National Science Foundation-funded project designed to teach university science students (undergraduate and graduate level) how to communicate science using research and theory from science education. The project supports partnerships between science faculty at universities and educators at nearby informal science educational institutions (ISEIs) to teach this course that was developed by science educators at the Lawrence Hall of Science (LHS).

College Science Students Learning to Communicate Science in Informal Settings
05.10.2009    

Increasingly scientists are urged to engage and communicate with the public about scientific issues more effectively. Some argue that science graduates need to know how to communicate their scientific knowledge with the public as science and technology advances arise at unprecedented rates (Leshner, 2007). Even though such a requirement adds “yet another element to overtaxed research training programs,” the knowledge and skills of communication are needed for future scientists (Leshner, 2007, p. 161).
