The next听Engaged听Scientist Series lecture and听workshop听is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 19, and will focus on听"Uses and Practices of Community Dialogue in Geosciences and Environmental Sciences."
As communities increasingly grapple with problems of resiliency and environmental health and safety, scientists who are prepared to help are needed.听The Engaged Scientist series of free public talks and associated workshops for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers aims to equip scientists with community engagement skills.
Boulder Talks Directors听Phaedra Pezzullo听and Leah Sprain of the听CU听College for Media, Communication and Information (CMCI) will give a public lecture on fostering community dialogue from听4 to 5 p.m. if you plan to attend.
