In a world where science influences policy as well as personal decision-making more than ever, what does it take to become an astute interpreter as well as writer of scientific opinion? In this project-based course, you'll start by exploring traditional science opinion writing genres--such as legacy newspaper opinion pages and JAMA Viewpoints--as well as how this writing differs from and for that matter complements "official" research. Then, you'll learn how to write and pitch a scientific op-ed on a topic of your choice to a real publication. We'll also take a close look at how emergent genres and media, such as science podcasts and TikTok videos, open up new possibilities for communicating scientific opinion.

With the growing impact of science and technology on our society, the need for communicating that science well has never been greater. But what is effective science communication? Is it ever ok to use jargon? Is it ok to say "I" in my research report? How do I communicate complex topics in simple, but accurate, ways? In this course, we will explore the variety of formats that science communication can take--from technical research papers on particle physics to children's books about genetics. We will explore how different audiences shape the way science is communicated, and we will develop a set of best practices for effective science communication. Students will then apply these strategies in their own science communication projects. Prerequisite: PWR 2 or its equivalent.
