Laurentian University and Science North are collaborating in a Science Communication Graduate Diploma Program - the first of its kind in North America. It consists of ten months of study divided between the university and the exhibit floors of Science North. Courses and internships cover science communication in a wide variety of fields and potential careers, not just science centres. Even though the program has just started, students are already being offered internships at places like the Discovery Channel's Daily Planet, Canadian Geographic, the Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat, CBC, the Sudbury and District Health Unit, the Ministry of the Environment, Natural Resources Canada, the Sudbury Star, and Science North. Are you a recent university graduate? How to communicate with the public or with in-house audiences of non-scientists is now recognized as part of any outward looking organization, company or government department involved with science and technology. Having “communication” on your resume might open closed doors. Do you already have a science and technology job?
