Kavli SciComm Essentials
For science to benefit humanity, we support more than research itself. The Kavli Foundation is committed to ensuring the people, processes and products of science contribute meaningfully to society. Read more about our work at kavlifoundation.org/science-and-society.
Kavli SciComm Essentials will help you expand your skills in public engagement and science communication through a suite of virtual offerings. From how to give a good talk and data visualization to relationship building and inclusion, there is something in the Kavli SciComm Essentials Library for everyone.
