    Such an important mission, but also such a difficult job to change the instincts of people who are usually introverted, analytical, and extremely detail oriented.

    We agree! We're trying, and it's amazing to see how some of our students really transform after our training. Thanks for your support.

    We also need the general public to start using their brains. What good is training in communication when people won't listen?

    Great project and really worthwhile. I'm excited to help you folks train another cohort of scientists who aren't afraid to take their science to the people.

    As a scientist I would enjoy benefit from communication training like what you are proposing. Good luck!

    I became a better communicator and gained some valuable leadership experience from being an Engage director. I hope more grad students get the opportunity!

    Think evolution and intelligent design don't belong on the same stage? Think we are entering a generation where many important decisions demand a scientifically-literate society? Think science is cool? Do you want more science on TV, without all the "megalodon" crap the teevee spits out these days? SO DO I. That's why I donated to this campaign. Step up.
