Science Communication Training

Developing the next generation of science communicators.

We've launched a joint science communication training program in partnership with the University of Southern Maine. The program teaches undergraduate students how to effectively bridge the gap between scientific research and public understanding of science. This immersive experience allows USM undergraduates to work directly with GMRI researchers and communications specialists.

Program participants will:

  • Work with the GMRI communications team to create a plan and schedule that suits their needs and skill levels.
  • Engage in a series of science communication training workshops led by GMRI experts in various fields of study.
  • Produce content that will bolster their resumés for future job applications.

Project Partner

This joint internship program is possible thanks to support from the University of Southern Maine.
