Making sense of scientific information is part of our lives. News media mention many scientific details that require interpretation. Scientists seek to convey their insights to the public and policymakers. This course focuses on how to bring science and society into cooperation. We examine social and scientific issues and learn how to craft science stories and podcasts in collaboration with journalists and artists. Students work on their own pieces and collaborate on a shared online project.
