Science, made shareable
A graduate student community for science communication.
MiSciComm is a graduate student organization at the University of Michigan whose goal is to train fellow graduate students & post-doctoral fellows in science communication, with a focus on writing and the visual arts.
Science communication has always been important, but more recently it is stepping into the spotlight with more academics either leaving the bench or being involved with their communities more while remaining a researcher.
Through workshops, career panels, and events with the local Southeast Michigan SciComm groups, we strive to help graduate students and post-docs find resources and avenues to practice and engage in science communication for themselves and their surrounding community.
