SUMMARY:Crossroads of Ideas: Trusting the Data
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Claudia Solís-Lemus and Susan Monarez\n\n\nWe often hear that we should “follow the data.” But what does that really mean? \nFrom healthcare and artificial intelligence to climate research and public policy\, data has become one of society’s most valuable resources. Yet data alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Statistics help us understand uncertainty\, identify meaningful trends\, and make informed decisions—even when the answers aren’t simple. \nJoin Dr. Susan Monarez in conversation with UW–Madison statistician Dr. Claudia Solís-Lemus for an engaging discussion about the promises and pitfalls of our increasingly data-driven world. Together\, they’ll explore how scientists transform information into insight\, why uncertainty is a fundamental part of research\, and what it takes to communicate evidence in ways that build understanding and trust.

SUMMARY:Sci-prov: The Workshops - Stage Presence (Fall Session)
DESCRIPTION:FREE WORKSHOP! Better science communication through improv. This workshop will focus on stage presence!\n\n\nWorkshop Topic: Stage Presence \nThis workshop focuses on feeling comfortable on the stage including speaking\, physical presence\, and with technology. Activities focus on using microphones\, moving around on stage\, pauses\, and engaging with the audience. \nThis workshop will take place in room 1145 in the Discovery Building. \nSpace is limited – RSVP required! \n\n\nThese 2-hour workshops are designed for graduate students\, post-docs\, staff\, and faculty in STEM related fields who want to sharpen their ability to communicate effectively and adaptively. In research and industry alike\, ideas often need to be shared in real time with diverse audiences- from colleagues and collaborators to decision-makers and the public. These sessions provide a lively\, low-stakes space to build confidence in handling the unexpected and the ability to pivot one’s communication. Through fun applied improv practice\, participants will experiment with spontaneous speaking\, respond to mistakes\, and network. Each workshop will focus one a different area of communication – attend one or all of the workshop sessions! \n\n\nOther sessions this fall: \n\nMessage Crafting – September 16th\nListening & Empathy – October 14th\n\n\n\nVisit illuminatingdiscovery.wisc.edu/sci-prov to check out all upcoming workshops and Sci-prov shows!
