Dope Labs Science Communication Week at Penn State aims to introduce graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career faculty in the College of EMS to "Dope Labs-style" science engagement that extends beyond traditional science communication journalism, and to increase diversity engagement in the STEM fields. The four-day remote event features a one-hour general information session open to all Penn Staters and four 1.5-hour workshops for up to 25 EMS researchers.
The topic-specific workshops are designed to introduce early career faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers to the broader science communication community and teach them to use social media, storytelling, and a web presence to network with other scientists and engage with diverse audiences. The event is being run by Dope Labs Podcast creators and hosts Zakiya Whatley and Titi Shodiya and sponsored by the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute; the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences; the EMS Energy Institute; and the departments of Geosciences, Materials Science and Engineering, and Energy and Mineral Engineering.
