Visualizing the Landscape of Training Initiatives for Scientists in Public Engagement in the United States
In partnership with the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation and Research!America, Fanuel Muindi from the Civic Science Media Lab conducted an in-depth mapping of the public engagement training landscape in the United States. This inaugural report offers a detailed overview of the diversity and scope of training initiatives enhancing public engagement for scientists. Notably, the report includes an interactive dashboard that provides a dynamic window into the rapidly developing field of training in public engagement. Together, the report and dashboard are designed to inspire new discussions, connections, and collaborations that further strengthen the ecosystem of public engagement training for scientists. Watch the launch of the report and dashboard.
