Speaker:

Randy Olson, PhD
Scientist, Filmmaker, and Science Communication Strategist
Do you struggle to clearly communicate your research to broader audiences, reviewers, or collaborators? Join us for a university-wide training session with Randy Olson, PhD on the ABT (And, But, Therefore) Framework — a simple, powerful tool used by scientists, communicators, and policymakers worldwide to make complex ideas clear and compelling.
In this interactive workshop, you will build your own ABT with live coaching from Randy and his team, learning how to strengthen your grant proposals, manuscript abstracts, presentations, and everyday scientific communication.
Build Your ABT Workshops
Whether you are a graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, faculty member, or staff researcher, this training gives you a practical, immediately applicable tool to sharpen how you tell the story of your science.
Please note: You can choose whether to actively engage in workshopping your ABT as a participant or witness progression of other’s scientific communication as an observer. Participants will be assigned prior to the start of the workshop and are required to attend in-person.
