SOT is excited to continue its partnership with the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science to offer two Science Communication Training Workshops in 2025. These workshops provide participants with essential strategies to effectively communicate their research and engage with diverse audiences, including the public, policymakers, and fellow scientists.
About the Workshops
SOT remains dedicated to improving science communication skills among its members. Through its collaboration with the Alan Alda Center, SOT sponsors two virtual workshops each year featuring “The Essentials,” the Alda Center’s core training program. Each interactive, three-hour workshop is limited to 24 participants to ensure an engaging and immersive experience.
2025 Workshop Dates
How to Apply
These workshops are open to all SOT members, with spots available on a first-come, first-served basis. To secure your place, apply by April 1 for the May session and September 1 for the October session. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis, and if a session reaches capacity, applicants will be placed on a waiting list for the next available workshop.
About the Alda Method©
The Alda Method emphasizes experiential learning, guided reflection, and peer feedback to transform participants’ communication skills. The workshop helps attendees develop techniques to connect with their audience, set clear communication goals, and craft compelling messages. Rather than just providing communication tips, this training fosters long-term skills applicable across all areas of scientific discourse.
Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your communication skills. Sign up for the next training workshop today!
