Cultural Enhancement Series begins tonight with Melissa Marshall lecture
The 2019-2020 Cultural Enhancement Series begins tonight with a presentation by communication expert Melissa Marshall .
 
Marshall is on a mission to transform how scientists present their work. That’s because she believes that even the best science is destined to remain undiscovered unless it’s presented in a clear and compelling way that sparks innovation and drives adoption.

Her lecture, Science Not Communicated is Science Not Done , begins at 7:30 p.m. at Van Meter Hall. Admission is free; seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
