Are you an early-career scientist grappling with how to make your research more directly useful to or by the public? Lisa Dilling, director of Western Water Assessment at CIRES, will lead a public talk on usable science, followed by a panel discussion featuring CU Boulder researchers whose science has been used beyond the university. We will explore different pathways to usable science, look at practical considerations and pitfalls, and learn from some of the researchers who have made usable science a major part of their careers.

A participatory workshop will follow for postdocs, graduate students, and early-career scientists to consider the real-world potential of making their own research more usable now and throughout their careers. Space in the workshop is limited; dinner will be provided. This event is part of the Engaged Scientist Series, hosted by the Albert A. Bartlett Science Communication Center, CIRES Education & Outreach, INSTAAR, and the CU Office for Outreach and Engagement.
