 In the era of fake news and alternative facts, communicating science clearly and effectively to the general public is more important than ever. From tweets to Facebook posts to news articles, there are countless media through which we can bring science to people from all walks of life. This nanocourse offers the opportunity to learn the basics of science writing for general audiences through small group discussions and interactive workshops. Additionally, this course will include a panel of expert science writers from PBS NOVA, STAT, Addgene, and more to answer questions and offer advice for any scientist hoping to better communicate his or her  
research and more. Topics will include the basics of science writing, navigating interviews, and effectively engaging a diverse array of audiences through various forms of media.

 All are welcome to attend the first session.  
Register for the second session at [nanosandothercourses.hms.harvard.edu/node/431](/nanosandothercourses.hms.harvard.edu/node/431). This second session will be held on Monday, October 30, 2017, 3:30-6:30 p.m.
