Hello! Scientists and engineers of all types are invited to take part in our recurring Alachua County-area public outreach event in November 2016. No experience with public engagement is necessary.
What: "talk science with me" is a public engagement event where pairs of scientists meet the public in coffeehouses, bars, libraries, and even laundromats to have conversations.
How: Sign up for a date, time, and location here: https://ufl.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_6X1CEooWhigYWah
When:
First time participants will be asked to attend a 45-minute orientation Wednesday, November 9th, 3pm and 4:05 pm in Bryant 120
Where: locations around Alachua County: in downtown Gainesville, Archer, Micanopy, Hawthorne, and High Springs.
Who: especially folks who study the ocean, but anyone who does science* research for UF (faculty, grad students, postdocs, research scientists). You'll be paired with another scientist at the same venue.
*including applied sciences (ag, engineering, computer science, you name it.)
Why: to get to know the public and let them get to know us, fulfill the university¹s outreach and Extension mission, and just to talk science!
Please share with colleagues who may be interested!
