You’re Invited: 6th Annual Indiana Science Communication Day

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The 6th Annual Indiana Science Communication Day is being held March 3rd 2025 at the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis from 9:00am-3:00pm EST. Join fellow graduate students from across the state for the chance to engage with policymakers and practice communicating your research to a non-technical audience.

Join us on zoom at 6:00 pm on January 14th for an open/optional office hours for questions regarding IN Sci Comm Day. It is a great time to ask organizers any questions, if you are curious and interested to join us! See flyer for zoom link.

In addition to attending the Communication Day in-person, all attendees are expected to attend two events: a Science Policy Communication Workshop on Monday, January 27th and a virtual All-Participant Prep Meeting on February 17th from 6:00-7:30 pm EST. If you have prior conflicts and cannot attend one or both of these virtual preparatory meetings, please reach out to the event organizers to determine possible accommodations. The workshop is an all day event, but we recognize some people may have prior conflicts that require them to miss part of the day. The workshop can be joined in person (strongly encouraged) or virtually and must be registered for separately.

This event is free to attend, and participants have the opportunity to apply for assistance with poster printing costs and reimbursement for gas money for those who carpool together to drive into Indianapolis. We don’t want finances (or anything else) to be a barrier for attendance, so there are questions below to help us provide accommodations. Please reach out to scipolnd@nd.edu (with the subject line: INSciCommDay25 Assistance) if you have any specific needs and we will do our absolute best to provide those.
