Associate Director Dr. Jacquart Presents as a Part of Workshop

Last week, Associate Director for the Center for Public Engagement with Science  Dr. Melissa Jacquart was featured as a speaker for the professional development workshop “Data and Computation Science Series.” The last session in the series, this week’s theme was “Promoting your Research and Research Impact.” 

To help other researchers increase the impact of their research, Melissa discussed strategies such as the use of social media and reaching out to various in-person venues. She emphasized treating outreach as a two-way discussion rather than a one-sided “pitch.” She also encouraged researchers to consider their own goals and their target audience prior to presenting it to the public. Finally, she informed her audience of the service and goals of the Center for Public Engagement with Science, including support for outreach activities, partnerships, and training.  

University of Cincinnati affiliates can view her presentation here.

COVID-19 Updates for Center

We want to give everyone a few updates about how the spread of COVID-19 will impact Center activities going forward. Of course, this information is subject to change as time goes on.

Workshop: The Workshop on Public Engagement with Science that was previously scheduled for May 13-15 has been postponed. We are currently working on figuring out new dates, and will make an announcement when that is figured out.

Public Engagement with Science Graduate Class: The University of Cincinnati has extended Spring Break through Wednesday March 25. After that date classes will move primarily online. The Public Engagement with Science Graduate Class will also therefore be moving online. Projects with community partners will continue, with appropriate modifications.

Social Engaged Philosophy of Science Research Group (SEPOS): SEPOS meetings are cancelled from March 13 to April 10.

If you have any questions about Center activities please contact Director Angela Potochnik at potochaa@ucmail.uc.edu or Post-Doc Melissa Jacquart at jacquama@ucmail.uc.edu.
