The Blum Center for Developing Economies and the InFEWS program are hosting a conversation with BIDS Senior Fellow Daniel Kammen, who will talk about the importance of communicating dynamically and effectively about research to a variety of audiences. How can you synthesize and translate your research for lay audiences? How can you begin to think about applied science for global challenges while still in graduate school? How can you become an expert science communicator for interdisciplinary science gatherings, government and civil society groups, and the press? Professor Dan Kammen will answer these and other questions. This event is open to all Berkeley Students.
