Why you should share your scholarship with the public, and how to do it well
Attention faculty members and graduate students! Are you interested in sharing your research and areas of expertise with the public? Then join us for a special virtual session sponsored by ADVANCE STEM-LEAF and presented by an editor from The Conversation*.

*Clarkson has partnered with The Conversation to promote our faculty as subject matter experts in your unique field of expertise. Each day they publish dozens of articles on timely topics such as COVID-19 and aerosols, where you sit in a room with COVID superspreaders, fake accounts on social media, and why a contested election won’t destroy American democracy, to name a few. They are always looking for new and unique ideas and stories from our faculty experts.
