The Art of Storytelling in STEM: Intersection of Science Communication, Culture, and Art | November 2nd 10:30am to 11:45am

Science communication is an important, and often overlooked and underdeveloped, skillset that members of the STEM professions need to effectively connect their results to a broad audience. Very often it is a skillset that is improved upon “as needed.” Furthermore, the presentation of identity and personal storytelling in scientific talks are some of the prominent challenges that early-careers face in today's STEM professional landscape. This professional development session is focused on the introspection of culture, science, and art as it applies to the intersectionality of science communication to a broad audience.

This session will feature a diverse group of panelists across various career stages sharing their stories and science. The session will also feature an interactive component for best practices for effective science communication to broad audiences.

An illustration of Sun-like star HD 181327 and its surrounding debris disk. The star is at top right. It is surrounded by a far larger debris disk that forms an incomplete ellpitical path and is cut off at right. There’s a huge cavity between the star and the disk. The debris disk is shown in shades of light gray. Toward the top and left, there are finer, more discrete points in a range of sizes. The disk appears hazier and smokier at the bottom. The star is bright white at center, with a hazy blue region around it. The background of space is black. The label Artist's Concept appears at lower left.
