Foundational Programs
Science is complex. It shouldn't be exclusive.
The Alda Center's help researchers engage audiences effectively, build trust, and
share the wonder and joy of their work.
These programs help researchers invite audiences into their work by bridging gaps in experience, cultures, and backgrounds.
Participants will learn to pay close attention to non-verbal communication, and to experiment with communication strategies to connect with audiences.
These strategies work with audiences of all ages, education levels, and areas of expertise. We offer a variety of formats to meet client needs.
