FRESHWATER SCIENCE OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSITY GATES: BRINGING SCIENCE ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO THE PUBLIC

Science education can take place in more settings than the traditional college classroom. Communicating science outside of a university setting allows researchers to broadcast their findings to a wide audience, inform people about locally occurring research, and can be personally rewarding to the scientist. Furthermore, proposing public education opportunities programs is an important component of the broader impacts of many federal funding programs. This presentation is designed for graduate students (and others) who are interested in learning about the myriad of options for extra-curricular science engagement. We will discuss various formats used to work with K-12 school groups, ranging from in-class demonstrations to Bioblitz activities. Also presented are ideas for engaging with general public through community programs. There are also sources of federal funding available for the development of ambitious designs. Developing skills in disseminating scientific information, especially related to freshwater science, is an increasingly important aspect of career development and a necessary part of our contribution to society.
