How can we make complex research resonate with a broader public? Part of the Hanson Center’s Forging Connections series, this interactive workshop featuringRaychelle Burks demonstrates how pop-culture themes and inclusive storytelling can bridge the gap between academia and public understanding. While Burks’ expertise is rooted in chemistry, her strategies for public scholarship extend to all disciplines. By offering a powerful framework for public scholarship, Burks provides faculty and students in STEM, the arts, humanities, and social sciences with the tools to employ inclusive storytelling and pop culture themes to help their research connect with a wider audience. 4:15-5:30 p.m. Fri., Feb. 6 • Hugel Science Center, Room 100 • MORE
