SUMMARY:Vancouver STEMminist Book Club reads "Superior" by Angela Saini
DESCRIPTION:In our eighth meeting of the Vancouver STEMminist book club\, we will be reading “Superior: The return of race science” by Angela Saini. We have our second guest host\, Khristine Carino (@KhristineCarino)\, who will be leading our discussion on this book!!  Angela’s book came out two years ago\, and is no less relevant now with the #BlackLiveMatter movement. It is our responsability as scientists and science ethusiasts to learn more about our implicit biases and recognize how race science is sneaking back into the narratives of research design. Come join our conversation and learn with us! \nWe will do a quick overview of the book at the beginning of the session followed by a deeper discussion. It is suggested to read the book\, but we welcome you to attend and contribute to the discussion either way. All voices and perspectives are welcomed. \nWe will meet again on Zoom since our last meeting went well using this platform. Future events will be in person or on Zoom depending on the availability of space and safety considerations. \n“Superior” is available in book (hardcover and softcover)\, and audiobook options. Hopefully\, copies will be available from the VPL pending their staged re-opening. Angela Saini has also done many interviews\, a BBC mini series\, on this book if you are looking for further reading. \nNext Book November 2020: Radium Girls\, by Kate Moore (A new movie was just released!) \nCheck out the LinkedIn Group\, and Mailing List below in the contact info!  \n  \nFAQs \nAbout the STEMminist Book Club Vancouver chapter: \nThe plan is to mirror the STEMminist Bookclub that was started in Australia by Dr.  Caroline Ford (@DrCFord). We will aim to read one book every two months followed by an in-person meeting here in Vancouver\, BC. You are also able to contribute to the discussion online on twitter @stemminist / #stemministbc (we don’t always read the same book as the online discussion). \nIf you are interested in the contributions of women to science\, learning more about the history of science\, and want to talk about some of the issues and stories brought up in the books this is the book club for you! \nHow can I contact the organizer with any questions? \nVancityStemminists@gmail.com \nMailing List Sign-up: http://eepurl.com/gSVrjz \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13796841/

Future events will be in person or on Zoom depending on the availability of space and safety considerations. \n“Superior” is available in book (hardcover and softcover)\, and audiobook options. Hopefully\, copies will be available from the VPL pending their staged re-opening. Angela Saini has also done many interviews\, a BBC mini series\, on this book if you are looking for further reading. \nNext Book November 2020: Radium Girls\, by Kate Moore (A new movie was just released!) \nCheck out the LinkedIn Group\, and Mailing List below in the contact info!  \n  \nFAQs \nAbout the STEMminist Book Club Vancouver chapter: \nThe plan is to mirror the STEMminist Bookclub that was started in Australia by Dr.  Caroline Ford (@DrCFord). We will aim to read one book every two months followed by an in-person meeting here in Vancouver\, BC. You are also able to contribute to the discussion online on twitter @stemminist / #stemministbc (we don’t always read the same book as the online discussion). \nIf you are interested in the contributions of women to science\, learning more about the history of science\, and want to talk about some of the issues and stories brought up in the books this is the book club for you! \nHow can I contact the organizer with any questions? \nVancityStemminists@gmail.com \nMailing List Sign-up: http://eepurl.com/gSVrjz \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13796841/

SUMMARY:BCREGMED Media Engagement Workshop
DESCRIPTION:News media set agendas\, shape policies and impact spending. Issues that are effectively profiled by the news media are seen as more important than those not receiving such attention. However\, often the people most expert in a particular field have difficulty translating their deep knowledge into commentary that is accessible and engaging to a lay audience made up of those who don’t have a science background or specialized vocabulary. BCREGMED is providing a two day media engagement workshop for its graduate students\, post docs\, and PIs. The goal being to provide support with concrete tools and strategies to increase their communications effectiveness when sharing information about any aspect of their work with the broader public through news media. \nWRITING COMPELLING COMMENTARY \nThis workshop provides participants with the confidence and tools to contribute their expertise to the public discourse through compelling\, short-form written commentary for newspaper op ed pages and online sites. It helps scholars to: \n• Identify elements of their work most likely to be of interest to a broader public and the news media;\n• Apply a 5-step approach to developing a persuasive\, focused written argument;\n• Learn some self-editing strategies and the process of submitting commentary to news media gatekeepers.

SUMMARY:The Art of Explaining Science to Non-Specialists
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to learn how to help non-specialists understand key knowledge and novel research in your field? Join us for a 60-minute webinar where you’ll learn strategies for writing “explainers” that are clear and compelling to people outside of your field. This knowledge could be applied to writing captions on social media\, describing cutting-edge research\, and more. \nParticipants will:\n• Consider how you can use your knowledge and writing skills to help non-specialists better understand scientific or engineering research\n• Identify stylistic and structural elements of science communication\n• Practice techniques for writing texts that are clear and compelling \nSince 2017\, Dr. Diane Dechief has been designing and teaching science communication courses at the McGill Writing Centre. She was a facilitator at the 2020 national science communication conference\, ComSciCon CANADA

DESCRIPTION:Would you like to learn how to help non-specialists understand key knowledge and novel research in your field? Join us for a 60-minute webinar where you’ll learn strategies for writing “explainers” that are clear and compelling to people outside of your field. This knowledge could be applied to writing captions on social media\, describing cutting-edge research\, and more. \nParticipants will:\n• Consider how you can use your knowledge and writing skills to help non-specialists better understand scientific or engineering research\n• Identify stylistic and structural elements of science communication\n• Practice techniques for writing texts that are clear and compelling \nSince 2017\, Dr. Diane Dechief has been designing and teaching science communication courses at the McGill Writing Centre. She was a facilitator at the 2020 national science communication conference\, ComSciCon CANADA
