ComSciCon - The Communicating Science Workshop for Graduate Students
The Communicating Science Conference (ComSciCon)
is a not-for-profit workshop series on science communication organized
by graduate students, for graduate students. Our mission is to
prepare early career scientists to become ambassadors for their
fields, communicating complex and technical topics through multiple
media to diverse audiences including their peers, scientists in other
fields, students, and the general public.
Founded in 2012 by graduate students at Harvard University, MIT,
and the University of Colorado at Boulder, nearly 3000 graduate
students nationwide have already participated in ComSciCon programs,
including our annual Flagship Workshops and Franchise Workshops
which have been started by ComSciCon alumni across the US and
Canada. Attendees have founded new science communication
organizations in collaboration with other students at the event,
published over 80 articles written at the conference in popular
publications with national impact, and formed lasting networks with
our student alumni and invited experts.
ComSciCon's passionate volunteer team has worked tirelessly to create unique, career accelerating leadership and professional development experiences for graduate students across the US and Canada. Our annual flagship workshop and our many spinoff events serve hundreds of graduate students every year. And with your help and your support, we can ensure that our programs are always offered free of charge to every student who attend, with funds provided for their travel so that everyone is supported to attend.
