Viorel,

It would be great if you could share this quick note with the OCEES folks about the science communication class we are offering at Environmental Studies this spring.

Noted journalists and alums Tom Hodson and Andy Alexander are again teaching a 2 credit Interacting with the Media class Mondays 3-5 that is designed to meet the student demand for more science communications training. Through a focus on interacting with the media, they help the students build practical skills communicating about their current research. It is available for undergrads and grads via ES 4900/5900. We’ve had CHEM, PBIO, BIOS, Media Arts etc students in there in addition to MSES and MPA.  A past winner of 3 Minute Thesis competition credited the class with giving him the idea that made his presentation so effective. More details below. I also included an elective on Global Water Resources that we don’t teach often in case folks are interested in that course as well.

ES 4900/5900 (Class Number 5692/5694) Interacting with the Media M 3:05 – 5:00pm 2 credits
Being able to interact with the media can be key to influencing public policy, explaining research findings and obtaining research funding.  This course will provide a foundation of knowledge regarding the history and state of the media, and it will help STEM professionals develop the kinds of practical skills that are essential for public affairs leaders to effectively deal with the media and communicate their messages effectively.

ES 5301 (Class Number 11770) Global Water Resources Th 3:05 – 6pm 3 credits
Explores global water use, scarcity, quality, and supply in the context of international development, climate change and land use using a case study approach.  Taught by Environmental Studies Program director Dr. Natalie Kruse.

Best, Geoff
