Participate in a panel discussion and networking event exploring the crucial role of scientists in engaging with diverse audiences to communicate complex scientific concepts and foster positive change. Learn from experienced scientists about their outreach efforts, communication strategies, and collaborations with policymakers, media, and communities. Gain insights into developing effective science communication skills, running for public office, navigating media relations, and conducting educational outreach. After the moderated panel, engage in informal networking opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals and discover ways to get involved in science engagement initiatives. AGU staff will be available to answer questions and provide information about relevant programs.
