Janna Sasser is a communications intern with North Carolina Sea Grant. She is a senior at North Carolina State University majoring in communications, with a minor in journalism.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Word<\/p>\n

A documentary filmmaker and a leader in citizen science are among experts who will offer their wisdom to help graduate students convey the stories within \u2014 and the impacts of \u2014 research projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cConveying Your Message,\u201d North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s graduate student training symposium, will be held April 6 and 7 at the New Bern Riverfront Convention Center. The sessions will feature developing communication skills, with a focus on real-world contexts including interview preparation and grant writing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are already seeing registration from across the\u00a0state,\u201d notes John Fear, deputy director for Sea Grant as well as the state\u2019s Water Resources Research Institute. \u201cWe realized these skills are needed not only by the students we are funding, but also by many others.\u201d<\/p>\n

The symposium is free. Registration is required and will be limited by space capacity. The agenda and registration details can be found at ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/grad_comm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some travel scholarships are available. For sponsorship and other information, contact Fear at jmfear@ncsu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The program opens on April 6<\/strong> with Holly Menninger<\/a>, who leads public science efforts in the NC State University College of Sciences. She will focus on communicating and connecting with your\u00a0audience, including the basics of an elevator speech.<\/p>\n

As the college\u2019s first director of public science, Menninger oversees initiatives to build science literacy beyond NC State\u2019s campus, including citizen science, informal science education, science communication and innovation in public science. She also directs the Your Wild Life outreach program.<\/p>\n

Menninger obtained her doctorate in biological sciences at the University of Maryland, and has worked in\u00a0public affairs for\u00a0the American Institute of Biological Sciences, as well as in extension and natural resource management at Cornell University. Catch her latest news and events by following her on Twitter: @DrHolly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The April 7<\/strong> sessions will focus on creative communication strategies and audiences.<\/p>\n

\"Art
Art Howard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Documentarian Art Howard will deliver the keynote address. He will challenge the students to explain why\u00a0<\/em>their research matters, not just how<\/em>\u00a0they achieved results.<\/em>\u00a0His\u00a0Beneath the Blue\u00a0<\/em>documentary captures deep-sea exploration in the Atlantic Ocean. Developed in conjunction with the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences<\/a>, the Telly Award-winning film is a permanent exhibit at the museum.<\/p>\n

His\u00a0projects include working with the Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration to document the science below the ocean’s surface, putting Howard at sea three to six months a year. View this work on the NOAA Ship<\/a> Okeanos Explorer<\/a><\/em> website.<\/p>\n

Pathways to the Abyss<\/em>, a production for the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management, was recognized in 2015 by U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell for Outstanding Collaboration and Science Education.<\/p>\n

Howard also owns the multimedia production company ARTWORK Inc. His many honors\u00a0include an IRIS award, a Robert Kennedy Journalism award, an Emmy from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and recognition\u00a0from the Council of Advancement and Support of Education. His varied topics include the Gulf War, destructive hurricanes and tornadoes, scientific treks to the South Pole, and global climate change.
