[Allgsacstudents] Graduate students: Applications open for the Communicating Science Conference in Los Angeles!

[allgsacstudents at lists.ucr.edu]

Do you want to learn to communicate your science more effectively? Are you
interested in learning how to write about science, learn about LA’s unique
science communication landscapes, or engage diverse audiences?

We are excited to announce the inaugural Communicating Science Conference
for Graduate Students (ComSciCon) in the Los Angeles region, which will
take place virtually via Zoom on April 9th and 23rd, 2021! The ComSciCon
workshop series <https://comscicon.com/> is designed to empower graduate
students to communicate the complex and technical concepts that arise in
research in science, engineering and other technical fields to broad and
diverse audiences, beyond fellow practitioners in the field.

We have an exciting program of events planned. Attendees will network with
fellow graduate student leaders in science communication, produce original
writing for publication, and learn from expert writers and communicators in
the LA area.

ComSciCon-LA 2021 will be held over two full days on April 9th and 23rd,
2021. Applications are open NOW
<https://comscicon.com/comscicon-los-angeles-2021-application> and the
application period will close at 11:59pm PST on December 4th, 2020. There
will be no registration fee for attendees, but only a limited number of
spots are available. Attendees will be selected through a competitive
application process. The application consists of only a few short answer
questions, outlined at
<https://comscicon.com/comscicon-michigan-2019-application>
