Two science communication events in April
April 2, 2019
UAF students in biology, fisheries and natural resource management will offer two
science communication events in Fairbanks and Juneau in April. The events will feature
presentations by UAF graduate students on their research focusing on a variety of
topics, including molecular biology, fisheries and land use decisions. The students
are enrolled in a course focused on effectively communicating science to the public.
These events offer them a unique opportunity to apply skills they have gained over
the semester and engage with the public about their research topics. Admission to
both events is free, and refreshments will be available after the event. All ages
are welcome.
