Join MEFA in its fourth virtual event highlighting the use of stories to make authentic connections in community engaged research. The event will provide participants with tips for putting their science into a narrative to better connect to their audience and begin to build genuine relationships. The event will begin with a one-hour workshop that includes best practices for crafting narratives, led by Bethann Garramon Merkle, an expert in science communication and engagement. The workshop will be followed by a twenty-minute presentation by Dr. Na’Taki Osborne Jelks, highlighting how one can successfully engage the community in their ecological research with an example from her work. The last ten minutes will allow time for Q&A.
