Science is for everyone—but is it always communicated that way?
Science communication is broadly defined as the practice of sharing scientific knowledge, methods, and findings with audiences not directly tied to the scientific community, such as the general public. Inclusive science communication goes a step further, ensuring that scientific information is shared in ways that are accessible, relevant, and respectful to people of all backgrounds, identities, abilities, and communities.
When science is communicated in a way that is accessible and relevant to all, it empowers communities, builds trust, and invites a wider range of voices into scientific conversations and ultimately STEM careers. In a world facing global challenges like climate change, public health crises, and technological shifts, it is vital that no one is left out of the dialogue.
Join The New York Academy of Sciences and Hudson River Park Trust for a dynamic discussion exploring how to leverage your lived experiences to effectively and inclusively communicate STEM knowledge. Engage with the panel of speakers and explore how communicating science can help dismantle barriers and foster a more informed and connected society.
This event is targeted toward high school and college students interested in STEM careers, but is open to anyone seeking to improve their science communication skills and learn from experts. Attendance is free for everyone.
Immediately following our panel discussion, in-person attendees are invited to join a networking session, where they can enjoy light snacks and connect with the speakers and fellow audience members in a friendly and open atmosphere.
