Open Presidents' Day:  

Open Monday, February 20, 2023. Plan your visit.

The Science Communication Fellows program is for faculty, post-docs, PhD and graduate students who are interested in sharing their research with the general public.

The U-M Museum of Natural History uses the NSF-supported Portal to the Public guiding framework to bring scientists and public audiences together in face-to-face interactions that promote appreciation and understanding of current scientific research.

Fellows accepted into the program will participate in a series of five free professional development workshops hosted by museum staff, focused on building the skills to effectively engage public audiences. During this process and with guidance from museum staff, Fellows will develop meaningful, inquiry-based activities that showcase their research then share these activities with K-12 students and/or the public at two or more community outreach events.

 

 

Science communication workshops and events will be held in person unless otherwise noted, following the most up to date university COVID guidelines.

 

The application deadline for the Winter 2023 semester has now passed.
