PhD+ RCS Special Topic: Int'l Perspectives on SciCom - Impacts of English as the Primary Language of Science

Event Date
Location
Zoom link will be provided Nov 3.

International Perspectives on Science Communication is a PhD+ discussion series about how science is communicated around the world. Our topic for December is the role of English as the primary language in science. But English is not a native language for the majority of scientists in the world. What challenges do scientists face while writing in a language that is not their native tongue? What does it mean for citizens interested in science who do not speak English? Should we increase the diversity of languages in which science is communicated, and if so, how? 

Readings and a Zoom link will be sent to registered participants on Nov 30. 

Register here to join us for this provocative conversation!
