Join Jennifer Wilson, PhD, for a two-hour writing workshop on translating research into public writing. Dr. Wilson will give a talk about her experience breaking into media writing during and after a career in academia, covering topics like pitching, working with editors, making research publicly accessible, and the pluses and minuses of writing for a wider audience. Workshop participants will be encouraged to share aspects of their research that they would be interested in transforming into an article for a magazine or newspaper. Limited seats, for UW graduate students only, registration required. Workshop will be conducted on Zoom. Register for the workshop at https://bit.ly/Workshop-Dec3.
