Join Science at Cal for Pitchapalooza! This hands-on workshop will help you hone your ability to pitch your scientific research in compelling – and understandable – language to the media, funders, policymakers, and others. You’ll work in small groups to craft your research “elevator pitch” for a non-specialist audience. They’ll take you through an interactive activity, working in small groups to craft and refine your message, then pitch it to a panel of friendly experts from the media, communications, and development for real-time feedback. Your work is important! Whether you're preparing to talk with journalists, funders, the public, or policymakers, this is your chance to make your science shine.
