SPEAK

Scientists for Public Engagement and Knowledge (SPEAK) is the Center for Watershed Sciences' communications and outreach program that connects the public with trusted science. SPEAK helps scientists make their research accessible, engaging, and influential. With a professional communications staff, training opportunities, and multiple media platforms, SPEAK delivers science to everyone. Because science makes our lives better. 

The 2017 - 2018 SPEAK series has concluded. All workshops were recorded and are now posted and accessible under the Resource Links.
