As interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and convergent science collaborations b ecome more common when addressing big i deas in Arctic research, scientists require the tools and skills to eff ectively communicate about their work with various audiences and collaborat e across disciplinary boundaries. Through this program, the Interagenc y Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC< /abbr>) seeks to:

IARPC seeks eight  ECS to enroll in this, the second cohort of this program. The&nb sp;ECSs will identify a collaboration team of interest, participate in and contribute to IARPC Col laboration’s work, and produce a “lightning talk” about their own research to be delivered as part of the < abbr class="acronym-popup" data-qtip-content="acronym-118">IARPC Public Webinar Series and at a collaboration team meetin g. Examples from the previous cohort may be viewed here.

Course Material
The science communication traini ng program will be conducted completely live and online via Zoom webin ar software (6 sessions at 2 hours each, 12 hours total over a period of 6 weeks). Students must participate in all course sessions using a  webcam and strong internet connection.

About the Instructor
Jessica Rohde&n bsp;is the Web Manager / Communications Officer at IARPC and is passionate about helping scientists for m more effective collaborations by providing science communication training and catalyzing connections across the IARPC Collaborations community. She has been teaching science co mmunication and public speaking for early career scientists since 2012 for organizations including the University of Washington, the Polar Prediction School, the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists, and now with  ;IARPC. She recently published a paper& nbsp;assessing the effectiveness of the students to employ effective commun ication techniques before and after taking a course that this course is bas ed on.
