I had the exciting opportunity last month to be chosen as one of 50 grad students to attend the ComSciCon 2024 Flagship Workshop in Boston, MA. It was an incredible experience to connect with fellow grad students who are passionate about science communication! I was able to work on a writing project with feedback from professional science writers ✍ , try out new data visualization skills 🎨 , present a poster on all the incredible outreach efforts between UR Neuroscience & the Roc community 🤝 , and more!
As I start another academic year working toward my PhD, the insights and connections from the workshop have reaffirmed my passion for sci comm & I'm excited to keep researching and sharing!
