Description
This is a program evaluation study of an interest group (IG) that advances public engagement by STEM researchers and provides opportunities to develop science communication skills. The study addresses these questions and observations: 1) Members of biomedical/biosciences disciplines are more common participants in the IG’s science communication activities than members from other STEM disciplines. 2) What are the characteristics of STEM disciplines that are more resistant/less amenable to participating in science communication activities?
