To communicate effectively, speakers must connect with their audiences and that interpersonal rapport facilitates the better assimilation of their content. But scientists often struggle to reach non-scientific audiences because they focus more on the information about which they’re speaking instead of the people they’re speaking with. This workshop will share best practices for interpersonal communications by combining lecture with informal exercises allowing participants to engage experientially. Facilitator Biography: BRIAN PALERMO is an engaging actor with an impressive resume. Since 2010, Palermo has led workshops using the techniques of improvisational theatre to teach effective communications skills to professionals throughout the scientific landscape. The workshop will built on the success of previous workshops by Palermo (at OSM and ASLO meetings from 2012 – 2020) organized by Jonathan Sharp (U. Delaware) and Adrienne Sponberg (ASLO).
Pre-registration is encouraged in order to effectively plan for our event.
