Have you wondered just what they’re teaching about science these days? Then this particular annual conference is right up your alley. 

SCIENCE TALK '18​​ will unite scientists, science communicators, journalists, policymakers, students, and others for two exciting days of learning how to talk science to non-scientists or those outside your discipline. It will feature presentations, workshops, expert panels, and more. Come network with other like-minded individuals and learn new ways to tackle some of the impediments scientists face every day.

HISTORY: In April 2016, Science Talk Northwest was born. ​It was the brainchild of a small group of science communication professionals who saw a need to gather others and help elevate science in the region. 

The purpose of the organization was to bring together individuals passionate about science from the Pacific Northwest and share ideas about how science should be best communicated.

In July 2017, Science Talk Northwest went national and became Science Talk.

Now in March 2018, Science Talk returns to the Pacific Northwest. 

Each year they organize a conference where scientists, journalists, celebrities, politicians, students, and anyone who loves science can convene and share their expertise. This gathering offers networking opportunities, instructional workshops, and presentations on how to better communicate science to..."everyone." 

Science is the lifeblood to good decision making. Therefore, how it is presented and understood is incredibly important to advancements in medicine, technology, infrastructure, or design.

Science Talk is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Volunteer board members oversee the day-to-day operations, guide future goals, coordinate events, and provide mentoring and training to younger members.
