Science Communication
AGU Resources in SciComm
AGU (American Geophysical Union) has a great compilation of resources for science communication! Everything from making better figures, writing an Op-Ed, preparing for interviews, and contacting policymakers.
Storytelling
Engage audiences and learn how to communicate your research through the lens of storytelling. Studies have shown people are more likely to remember what you have told them and why when they can emotionally connect to the words you are telling them!
