Yukon Research Center hosts Science Communications Workshop

Communications Director Nancy Baron recently traveled to Whitehorse, Yukon to lead a science communications workshop with journalist trainers Cornelia Dean of the New York Times, Lisa Johnson of CBC News in Vancouver, and local reporters Cheryl Kawaja of CBC Television and Radio and Genesse Keevil of the Yukon News.  First Nations Elder Randall Tetlichi kicked off the workshop with his opening remarks; 21 local and Canadian government scientists as well as researchers from the Yukon Research Center at Yukon College attended the all-day event.  Nancy also delivered a very well-recieved public lecture on the Risks and Rewards of Science Communication the evening preceeding the workshop.
