We're just wrapping up another installment of "Science: Becoming the Messenger," this time in the beautiful Colvard Student Union at Mississippi State. The University ran this picture of one of my live improv interviews with a scientist--who did a very good job in response to some very crazy questions. Image caption below:
COMMUNICATING SCIENCE — MSU is hosting the National Science Foundation, which presented the workshop "Science: Becoming the Messenger" in the Colvard Student Union Monday. Facilitators Dan Agan, left, and Chris Mooney teach participants how to communicate complicated topics like research projects in a way that engages their audience. MSU postdoctoral associate Carrlet Stokes, right, had the chance to share her message about the importance of sweet potato research during a communication exercise on stage. The workshop continues today with a more intensive training session for invited researchers.
