Description

Over the past few years, we've included discussions on science communication as part of the workshop, primarily focused on working with the media. This year, we'd like to broaden that conversation to include effective advocacy for science and research at the federal level, while also connecting those strategies to interactions with funding agencies, state leaders, and public audiences.

SURF's Media Relations Manager, Mike Ray, will moderate the discussion, and panelists will share insights, lessons learned, and best practices for communicating the value of science and research.

The session will be conversational and interactive. Mike will provide a brief introduction, followed by short remarks from each panelist, a moderated discussion, and audience Q&A.
