[Grad-postdoc-assn] [Admin_net] Elevator speech workshop - hone your skills!

[Ali Branscombe]

Hello everyone,

Just to send a quick clarification, this event tomorrow is specifically
geared towards scientists who would like to learn some skills about
communicating their research to various public audiences. If you are a
non-scientist staff member at NCAR/UCAR who is interested in
communication training or learning about the comms resources we offer,
please reach out to me personally about your needs so we can better connect
you to resources that will meet those needs.

Thank you for your time!
-Ali
