Contributing to your scholarly field involves joining a conversation that others have been conducting in journals, at conferences and through research advancements. Rigorous research builds upon this conversation while contributing new knowledge, in many ways following a similar structure to improvised performance.
Learn about incorporating the “yes, and” foundations of improv into how you describe your research. This interactive workshop led by a highly experienced improv practitioner and science communications expert will give you concrete strategies for using improv skills to engage and delight your audience.
