Strategic Science Communication: Mastering the Art of Presenting to a Lay Audience
Learn how to present your poster to all type of audiences!
Calling all graduate students!
GEARS and GSPD presents a workshop to hone your presentation skills:
Presenting Your Research Poster to an Interdisciplinary Audience
Are you presenting a poster at the upcoming GEARS Research Symposium or an interdisciplinary conference? Join us for a practical workshop designed to help you communicate your research effectively to a broad audience.
A chance to win a raffle for $25 by attending the event! Two winners will be selected at the end of the event.
Date: 03/26/2026
Time: 2pm - 3pm
Venue: UC 310
Why This Workshop Matters
Unlike traditional academic conferences, GEARS brings together researchers and high level university officials from diverse fields. Most visitors to your poster won't share your specialized background, making it essential to communicate your work in accessible, engaging ways that resonate across disciplines.
What You Will Learn
- Strategies for explaining complex concepts to non-specialist audiences.
- How to identify and communicate the broader significance of your research.
- Techniques for adapting your message on the fly based on your audience.
- How to read your poster visitor and engage them effectively.
- Tips for handling questions from outside your field.
This event is a collaboration between the Graduate Student & Postdoctoral Development (GSPD) team and the Graduate Experiences, Achievements, and Research Successes (GEARS) committee of the Graduate Student Association (GSA).
RSVP your attendance on this link and add to your calendar.
Snacks will be provided with desserts! Come, there is enough for you all!
Calling all graduate students!
How do you view the future of research and creative achievement at UMBC?
The Strategic Plan subcommittee on Research is hosting a dedicated focus group just for graduate students, and they want to hear directly from us. As the driving force behind much of the university's innovation, your perspective is vital to redefining what research means for the future of UMBC.
The subcommittee's work is currently guided by the following pillar statement:
"We will set new standards for research and creative excellence as an R1 institution, building an inclusive, transdisciplinary, and translational enterprise that advances scholarship, discovery, understanding, and innovation across all fields, and contributes to economic prosperity, cultural vitality, and the public good."
We encourage you to reflect on this prompt and bring your thoughts, feedback, and ideas to the upcoming session!
Event Details:
Date: April 1st
Time: 2:45 PM
Location: ENG 102
This is a unique opportunity to have a direct say in UMBC's strategic direction as a premier research institution. We hope to see you there!

Some people may feel they need to compartmentalize their spiritual or religious identities away from their academic or professional pursuits, yet numerous scientists and physicians draw motivation and ethical guidance from their faith traditions. The Centering Wonder series explores the rich intersections of science and faith, dismantling the perceived wall between them in the process. Through thoughtful dialogue, Centering Wonder events help participants recognize that integrating their whole selves—including spirituality—into their work is not only possible but enriching.
"Beyond echo chambers and toward mutual enrichment"
Presented by Patricia Fosarelli, M.D., D.Min.
Professor of Spirituality and Practical Theology, St. Mary's Ecumenical Institute
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Science and religion can appear to be at odds, judging by some of their proponents' rhetoric. Yet each brings its own distinct interests and expertise. This raises key questions: "How can science and religion collaborate and learn from each other?" and "How might they view each other as complementary rather than adversarial?"
Q&A to follow; refreshments provided
Wednesday, March 25, 2026, 4 – 5:30 p.m.
