Science Communication Workshop – Cohort 1

We have organized an amazing lineup of experts from Pixar Studios, BATS Theater, Stamen Design and KQED Science to hone your story telling and data visualization skills.

Send Heather your conference registration showing a paid balance with your student id # for reimbursement of up to $260. Let everyone know when you’ll be there on this doc. We’re looking for a good place to meet Wednesday evening, Dec 14. More info to follow.
