Hi Folks, This opportunity might interest early-career scientists, graduate students and post docs attending AGU.
*FameLab: Get Involved in Science Communication in Action* Calling all grad students, postdocs, and early-career faculty: Passionate about science communication? Come compete in the FameLab<http://famelab-eeb.arc.nasa.gov/competitions/2013-agu-december/> regional heat at Fall Meeting—a fun-filled day of competition, coaching, and camaraderie that’s all about communicating with the public. How it works: you prepare two three-minute, PowerPoint-free talks, present one of them to a panel of judges in the morning, and participate in a free afternoon communications workshop. In the evening, the winners of the morning session get to give a second talk to a public audience and the judges. Join us on Sunday, 8 December to hone your skills, interact with like-minded scientists, and learn from communication specialists. Carl Sagan would want you to do it.
