Utilizing innovative approaches to improve communication skills is a top priority for our Career Development Association (CDA) members. CDA members are particularly concerned with improving the communication of science to lay audiences and the general public. Looking for solutions, our CDA was inspired by a 2017 NPA Annual
Meeting presentation about Science Sketches.
IDENTIFYING TRAINING GAPS: Annual survey identified communication as one of top three areas for
training improvement SEEKING SOLUTIONS:
Members of the CDA attended the 2017 NPA meeting in San Francisco and participated in the Science Sketch Workshop
GROUP BUY-IN: CDA Leadership Team voted to initiate a Science Sketch workshop at
MMCRI SKETCHING OUR SCIENCE:
A two day workshop included writing and peer review of scripts, generation of storyboards, and recording and editing of videos.

Step 1: Decide on script and
audience
Step 2: Write the script
Step 3: Create illustrations!
Step 4: Record the audio
Step 5: Record the video
Step 6: Edit the video
Step 7: Post & use your video!
BRINGING SCIENCE SKETCHES TO MMCRI USING YOUR SCIENCE SKETCH: SCIENCE SKETCH HOW-TO
100% of participants found the workshop extremely
useful 100% of participants would
recommend the workshop to a friend
100% of participants felt very prepared or extremely
prepared to create their own Science Sketch
WORSHOP ATTENDEES: PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK:
“My favorite part was the time spent workshopping ideas and the ability to do it during the workshop- didn’t feel rushed. Really
enjoyed the detailed instructions for pre-workshop homework.” “Really fantastic workshop, happy I was able to attend”
“Very practical workshop!” “This is a great idea for communicating science to many audiences.”
