The National Science Foundation (NSF) will be holding a workshop, "Science: Becoming the Messenger" on October 16, 2012, at the Gateway Hotel & Conference Center at Iowa State University, 2100 Green Hills Drive, Ames, Iowa 50014. We are extending an invitation to principal investigators (PI), early career researchers and engineers, students and postdocs from institutions and universities in Iowa who would like to learn to communicate effectively to a broad audience.

We are also extending an invitation to public information officers (PIO) communicating on behalf of the institutions and universities in Iowa.

Today, across academia and the research community, there is a growing interest in science communication. Scientists are asking how they can share their knowledge and findings across an increasingly challenging information environment.
