Show Your Science
Most of our current training focuses on doing science. Yet, we get those high-octane feelings of confidence and belonging when we can communicate our science clearly.
We need more training on showing our science!
As Science& develops our own customized workshops, we hope you find this curated list of existing resources helpful:
