There are a very limited number of spaces available. Please send me an email as soon as possible to let me know if you would like to attend. The workshop is intended to provide guidance to faculty, post-doctoral associates and graduate students on how to better communicate your expertise effectively to a wide range of audiences which you may encounter through media, presentations, newspapers, magazines, interviews, video etc.   A full agenda will be available shortly.
