Teaching with Community Partners

A conference presentation on methods to improve teaching science communication in biology laboratory education

Public engagement is an important component of science communication, and students can tap into the expertise of community partners to learn how to reach public audiences. This presentation at the Association for Biology Laboratory Education meeting highlights the importance of involving community partners in undergraduate education. The team’s goal is to develop methods to train the next generation of science communicators, and they took two approaches: provide tools for multimodal communication, including contributing to the Locally Sourced Science podcast on a community radio, and develop a community-engaged learning course in collaboration with a science café.

The Conference: Association for Biology Laboratory Education

Topics: Access, Equity and Justice; Arts, Communication, Media and Design; Education
