Please join us for the virtual Energy Seminar featuring Dr. Meagan Kittle Autry, teaching assistant professor in Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering at NC State. Dr. Kittle Autry will give a talk about Communicating your science with the public.

As we face a critical point in global climate change and our window for enacting change narrows, it is essential for scientists and energy scholars to communicate clearly and effectively with the public to gain traction in policy and behavioral change. In this talk, Dr. Kittle Autry will explain best practices for reaching non-expert audiences and adapting your message. We will discuss examples of scientists who do this well and also brainstorm ideas for attendees' energy research topics. At the end of this presentation, you will be able to describe key strategies for adapting your research for non-expert audiences and apply them to your own work.
