Description:

Sir Mark Walport said it best: “Science is not finished until it is communicated.” Michigan State University is one of the academic world’s epicenters for scientific research and innovation. With the great responsibility of such scientific advancement comes the ne cessity to communicate it with the greater population. This is more import ant than ever, especially in today’s ever-changing medical and political climate. In an effort to connect students with leaders in the science comm unication field and develop effective communication skills, MSU SciComm w ill be hosting a virtual SciComm Conference, ‘Conveyance’, on March 20th and 21st, 2021

Workshop and speakers at Conveyance will encompass M SU SciComm’s three main methods of communicating science to the public: ar t, policy, and literature. Featured science artists include Dr. Semarhy Quiñones, Kelly Stanford, and the MSU Broad Art Museum.
