Professional communication in science

Are you looking to volunteer in a research lab? Do you need to ask your professor for a reference letter? Are you looking to apply for graduate school and need to contact potential supervisors?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, this workshop is for you. You will learn how to communicate professionally in all of these academic contexts. Bring an email or letter that you have already written as you will get a chance to revise it and get peer feedback. Upper-year Science students will also be available to share their own experiences and answer your questions.
