We really enjoyed being able to contribute a version of our Communicate With Intent Framework to this collection. The book is designed to equip faculty with tools and activities that support #SciComm skill development in science courses.
New book alert! 🎉 @LaurentianU SCOM faculty @ChantalBSciComm and @reidskii wrote a chapter for "Teaching Science Students to Communicate: A Practical Guide." It's an actionable resource for equipping science students with essential #SciComm skills. https://t.co/xHJNcGc1eS
We know it’s a busy time of year and a few people just heard about our #SciComm program (hi, welcome! 👋) so we’re keeping the applicational portal open for a little longer. Please reach out to us via email if you have questions about your eligibility or the application process.
I remember feeling intimidated as an undergrad student when it came to research and grad school - I wasn’t sure where to start and what was possible. I hope this session we’re leading for #LUResearch2025 helps demystify some of the paths to research at LU!
Calling all @LaurentianU undergrads! We're delivering an info session with @ResearchLUL for #LUResearch2025 to highlight the many ways to get involved with research at LU. Register here for a reminder and zoom link: https://t.co/tio8Qvrf9i
Tell a friend! 📣 We're accepting applications until March 1, 2025 to join the @LUNatScience #SciComm Graduate Program for 2025-2026. Information for prospective applicants can be found on our website: https://t.co/IpcRCPTfJw
Can’t wait to see what our students will create in this new #SciComm multimedia space! We’re busy preparing the space this summer, looking forward to bringing classes there this fall.
Excited to work with @LUNatScience on this new STEM hub to support teaching and learning at @LaurentianU. Funding for a molecular analysis and characterization instrument core, a virtual reality lab, and a #SciComm multimedia lab! Read the announcement: https://t.co/ysot7RPU9H
👩🔬 Working with @reidskii, Master Lecturer in @LUNatScience, our students are confirming that the presentations are formatted correctly to engage our audiences on the big screen, and setting up our presenters' tools for a confident delivery.
For our Communicating Science Through New Media course @LaurentianU, our graduate students are taking over our social media accounts to bring you behind the scenes of our upcoming event with @ScienceNorth. Follow along to hear more about Northern MedTalks 2024!
On this International Women’s Day let’s all take time to celebrate women and non-binary people who continue to lead, serve, inspire and make the world a better place for others.
Celebrate all the steps to your success.

Tomorrow Michelle Reid will discuss teaching and learning insights from one of our program's capstone projects, Northern MedTalks, delivered in collaboration with @ScienceNorth. Members of @PCSTNetwork are welcome to join! Register for the Teaching Forum: https://t.co/fanOvwud7c
Join me in asking decision-makers to increase funding for grad students and postdoctoral scholars in Budget 2024! #SupportOurScience https://t.co/VXlG73FV76
We welcome questions over email as you're completing your application - if you don't have our contact information, send @LUSciComm a DM and we'll reach out to you as soon as we can.
Attention #SciComm applicants: we understand that the cyber incident at @LaurentianU might be preventing you from accessing information that you need as you complete your application for March 1. Please check https://t.co/Vczmo0ttBS for updates, and thank you for your patience!
Looking forward to talking with @GradStudiesLUL students about best practices for sharing their work at the #LUResearchWeek2024 Graduate Symposium, the #3MinuteThesis and #GRADFlix competitions, and chatting with friends and family about what they're studying at @LaurentianU.
Mark your calendars, @LaurentianU graduate students! To help you prepare to share your research at events like #LUResearchWeek2024, we're offering training on how to develop informative, engaging, and accessible research presentations. Register here: https://t.co/Gun2k1NkNn
Thinking about pursuing graduate studies in Science Communication? Join us for Fall 2024 at @laurentianu and @sciencenorth for a Master’s Degree or Graduate Diploma! Learn more about our interdisciplinary, hands-on, collaborative program: https://t.co/ZUHC0IXeBu
Today’s BioBlitz was a fun start to the term - always a good call to get experience by participating in public science engagement activities before learning how to design, deliver, and evaluate these kinds of events!
Started off our first week of #SciComm classes with a field trip in our own backyard @LivingwithLakes. We joined the @LaurentianU Sustainability Committee for their @inaturalist BioBlitz on the shores of Ramsey Lake!
Extremely happy to start off the 2023-2024 term tomorrow in a teaching-focused faculty role with @LUSciComm! Many thanks to my wonderful colleagues @LaurentianU@LivingwithLakes and @ScienceNorth who provided me with development opportunities, mentorship, and moral support!
Good news for our program! 📣 #SciComm Instructor @reidskii is now a Master Lecturer at @LUNatScience! We're excited that she will continue contributing to our program @LaurentianU in a teaching-focused role. Congrats Michelle!
Here's the #comic in our Strategic #SciComm comic series with @TheCosmicRey. It again focuses on thinking broadly about objectives (w/specific insights from the Theory of Planned Behavior).
Each of the three objectives have their own chapters in: https://t.co/GqfGbmFJhq
📢 Attention #GTA SciCommers! We're hosting a *long* overdue #SciCommTO social next Wednesday, August 16, 7-8.30PM at the @rasc national office (489 College St #203, Toronto, ON M6G 1A5). Come by, hang out and meet some other scicommers in and around Toronto! 🥳
Exciting news! 📣 Our Program Director
@ChantalBSciComm was recently promoted to Associate Professor at @LaurentianU @LUNatScience! Please join us in congratulating her for this well-deserved accomplishment and read about the other appointments here: https://t.co/xmfgXwJP69
Johnson & Johnson (@JNJGlobalHealth) is unjustly extending a patent on a life-saving tuberculosis drug. Today's the day for them to realize denying MDR-TB patients treatment is not worth the harm they're causing to core brands like Tylenol and Neutrogena. https://t.co/JArPHWpmv5
An open letter to @JNJNews. Stop pursuing the secondary patent of bedaquiline. YOU KNOW that millions of people will be unable to access lifesaving treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis if you extend the patent. YOU KNOW it violates your credo. https://t.co/JArPHWpmv5
