Featuring undergraduate science outreach and engagement projects from the 2023-2024 Latham Fellows
Developing skills in science communication and engagement is a cornerstone of all ISA programs. The Latham Science Engagement Fellowship, in particular, focuses primarily on developing project management and science communication skills, and provides selected students multiple pathways to actively participate in collaborative science outreach opportunities and engage our community in thinking about science.
Below are examples of creative works, presentations, and other science communication by Latham Fellows and additional ISA program-affiliated students. You can also check out Stem-o-sphere, a blog that is managed by Latham Fellows.
