Center Journal 56  \nVolume 5:1, 2019  \nFostering the Art of Scientific Communication in the Center  \nAmy Ellefson University of Southern Mississippi  \nLaura Stengrim University of Southern Mississippi  \nSean Fourney University of Southern Mississippi  \nKimberly Wingo University of Southern Mississippi  \nSteven Young  \nUniversity of Southern Mississippi  \nOur research asks how communication centers can assist advanced graduate students in the sciences to foster the art of developing scientific presentations for expert, non-expert, and generalist audiences. In a sustained collaboration supported by a national grant, the communication center at a mid-sized public comprehensive regional university in the Southeastern United States has facilitated a series of workshops for select graduate fellows in the sciences in recent years. In each of these workshops, we focus heavily on audience adaptation, thus creating a vibrant conversation between the disciplines of communication studies and the sciences. This research project collects data from workshops held in 2017 and 2018. Via a coconstructed narrative, we examine the notion of audience from the perspective of the research participants as well as administrators and graduate students who facilitated the workshops.  \nIntroduction  \nThe university communication center is located centrally on campus in the main library and has a mandate to serve the entirety of the campus, including students, staff, and faculty from all disciplines. The center is staffed by undergraduate peerconsultants from a variety of majors, as well as graduate students in the discipline of communication studies, and it is overseen by a faculty director. Approximately 45% of our 1,750-2,000 appointments annually, consist of clients from the basic public speaking course, while the remainder of our appointments, events, and activities serve a variety of other disciplines and/or are done in collaboration with various offices and groups on campus.  \nSeveral years ago, an opportunity arose for the communication center to collaborate in training graduate research fellows in the sciences on their  \ncommunication and presentation skills for expert-and non-expert audiences. A series of workshops were developed in consultation with the communication center director and grant administrator, who has a background and advanced degree in communication studies. The workshops include practice and instruction on brief“elevator pitch” research statements appropriate for professional settings; practice, instruction, and one-to-one assistance in developing 15-minute formal research presentations appropriate for academic settings; and 3MT (3-minute thesis) competition preparation appropriate for public settings.  \nMost National Science Foundation (NSF) programs that involve graduate students require training in scientific communication, specifically regarding communicating research and scientific advances to the public. Two NSF programs  \nCommunication Center Journal 57  \nVolume 5:1, 2019  \nsparked the collaboration with the communication center. The first was the GK-12 program in which graduate students in STEM and high school teachers develop lessons and activities for a high school classroom. Graduate students spent 10 hours per week in a high school science classroom to enhance the communication of their research to a non-scientific audience. Most recently, the NSF National Research Trainee (NRT) program focuses on developing the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed for graduate students pursuing a range of STEM careers. One area of this program is workforce development, which includes several communication initiatives such as elevator pitches, research updates and interviewing. The communication center has been a successful partner with these NSF programs for over 10 years.  \nLiterature Review  \nOperating outside of the formal classroom and curriculum, communication centers provide low-stakes environments for stud","cbCaip6XusYVP0rF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip6XusYVP0rF","pdf",78101,11,"English","# Introduction\n## Program collaboration with NSF\n# Literature Review\n## Deficit models and broader impacts","[{\"question\":\"What central question guides the research on scientific communication centers?\",\"answer\":\"How communication centers can assist advanced graduate science students in developing presentations for expert, non-expert, and generalist audiences.\"},{\"question\":\"Which workshop period is used for the data collection?\",\"answer\":\"The research collects data from workshops held in 2017 and 2018.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of training did the communication center workshops provide for graduate research fellows?\",\"answer\":\"They included elevator pitch practice for professional settings, development of 15-minute formal presentations for academic settings, and preparation for the 3MT (3-minute thesis) competition for public settings.\"}]","Communication Center Journal 56 - Volume 5:1 - 2019 | PDF",1792088274,28]
