This workshop_is for Penn State Graduate students in any field. Registration is required as lunch will be provided. Have you ever had someone ask you about your research only to see their eyes glaze over as you try to explain? Do you want to communicate your in a way that will make people lean in and listen? Honing your message and illustrating a few key interesting points about your research will help you to resonate with any audience and leave them wanting more. _ Nancy Baron, lead communications trainer with COMPASS and author of Escape from the Ivory Tower: A Guide to Making Your Science Matter, will lead a two hour interactive workshop for graduate students where you will master the art of the "elevator speech." Nancy will teach you how to use a powerful tool called the Message Box to distill what really matters, and will share useful techniques to help you better engage and connect to your audience_ even if you only have one minute. _ To learn more or register for this event, visit here. _ This event is hosted by the Penn State Institutes of Energy and the Environment as part of Science Communication Month.
