That’s a (Science) Riot! Cultivating Research Impact through Stand-up Comedy

Research impact is girded by a solid foundation of effective Knowledge Exchange -- i.e., a two-way flow between researchers and end-users of ideas, research evidence, experiences, and skills. However, many of the "best" researchers deploy few strategies beyond teaching, websites, and social media; even fewer can confidently capture public engagement and evaluate its impact. This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) will explore the benefits of humor at work and exploit comedy as a tool of connection to build individual scholars' capacities for science communication and research impact. Participants will receive expert media training in writing and performing comedic delivery of research insights, culminating in a live comedy show!
