How can scientists communicate their methods and insights to non-specialist audiences? "Broadcasting Science" will be taught by Joseph Palca, who worked for over three decades as NPR's science correspondent. The course will cover practical topics, such as how to record and edit audio and how to get comfortable with hearing your own voice on a recording. It will also cover editorial concepts, including how to frame a science story and how to simplify complex science. By the end of the class, students are expected to produce a 1-to-3-minute audio piece on a topic of their choosing. |
