Finding common ground from the science of science communication.īeets, B., & Brossard, B. Professional development opportunities such as these are an important component of graduate education,” says Dominique Brossard, LSC professor and chair.īrossard, D. “I am so grateful to LSC donors that help us provide financial support to our graduate students to travel to these international conferences to present their work. Members of the LSC department research interests cover a broad spectrum of science communication topics, ranging from anything from environmental issues to emerging technologies, and the diversity of their research was reflected in a wide range of PCST sessions that LSC members were part of. LSC Professor and Chair Dominique Brossard gave a keynote speech at PCST. Additionally, every scholar benefited from the departmental funding for travel and presented on different topics related to their research. students or candidates in the LSC department. LSC Professor and Chair Dominique Brossard was the faculty member on the LSC team at PCST and the graduate students that presented were Becca Beets, Mikhalia Calice, Ashley Cate, Anqi Shao, Isabel Villanueva – all Ph.D. One faculty member and five LSC students presented at PCST. From keynote speeches on how to connect research and practice in science communication to multiple research paper presentations in the main program, LSC faculty and students demonstrated that our program is the leader in science communication! This year’s 17 th PCST Conference, had over 800 attendees and the main theme was ‘Creating Common Ground.’ The theme signified the role and value of science communication as boundary work that connects scientists, engineers, policymakers, business leaders, and citizens. LSC’s prominent presence was once again on display at this year’s Public Communication of Science (PCST) Conference in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
