Speaking Science 2026

Join us on Thursday, April 16, for Speaking Science: a full-day opportunity for faculty, staff, and graduate students to strengthen science communication skills and build connections across the University of Minnesota. This year we’ll welcome keynote speaker Caitlin Looby, PhD, Great Lakes reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and round out our day with faculty lightning talks; an array of new skills-based and topical breakout sessions; and an afternoon networking reception.
