Communicating Science Across Cultures

Scientists engage diverse audiences through various platforms, including social media, science festivals, and community partnerships. The Science Communication Identities Project examines how individual and group identities enhance science communication. Our culturally responsive training empowers scientists to integrate their cultural backgrounds into communication practices. We aim to share insights from our project with scientists and the MSU-Greater Lansing community. Through hands-on, theater-based activities, participants will learn practical techniques for culturally inclusive science communication. By exploring how identity shapes communication and vice versa, we provide tools to connect effectively with diverse audiences and foster greater engagement with science.
