Improv for Scientists – workshop series
June 05, 2019
Improvisational comedy, while seemingly a medium for entertainment, has elements that can improve the practice of science. In improv, you learn to be spontaneous, to embrace failure, to effectively tell stories, to be a better listener and to learn how to read and respond to any audience.

In this workshop series, we will introduce the fundamentals of improv through a series of guided group and partner exercises and directly link each fundamental element of improv to its application in the practice and communication of science.
