Final Week: Last Push!

We've got just 7 days left to push this science-communication education project over the edge! Can we do it? Here is what still needs to be funded:

Multi-Cultural Collaboration: $500
I am now collaborating with other researchers to identify how this curriculum could be improved for multi-cultural use, specifically in India and Brazil. Funds will be put toward future project evaluations and developing multi-cultural materials.

Artistic Collaboration: $400
I will pay a professional graphic artist to make an aesthetically-pleasing curriculum packet for the students as well as a promotional video and infographic for teachers.

As always, thank you to everyone who has help drive this project onwards and upwards!

About This Project

Can we empower science students with communication skills by eliminating the barriers of time and expertise?

University of Washington

Science professors generally don't have the time or expertise to teach cross-cutting skills like communication. So, students graduate equipped with scientific knowledge but not the communication skills they need to benefit from that knowledge.

I hypothesize that we can train students to be significantly better communicators by incorporating short communication lessons into their science classes. The intervention will be assessed by blind reviews of student writing.
