The University of Calgary’s Faculty of Science has launched a Science Communicator in Residence program that will teach scientists how to engage with diverse audiences. Dr Mary Anne Moser is the inaugural Science Communicator in Residence. “As scientists, we are taught that the facts speak for themselves and to keep our personalities out of it, just like how we write academic papers,” said Moser. “To be good science communicators, we have to unlearn some of that so that we can relate to our audience as storytellers.” The program’s webinars and resources will be made available to the UCalgary’s community.
