Title:  “Yes, and … What the art of improv can teach us about effective science communication”

Description:  Increase the speed of thought. Though perhaps unnamed, nearly all scientists engage in high-level improvisation daily through adherence to its three basic tenets: react, adapt, and communicate. As a discipline, improvisation (improv) is an accessible activity in which participants learn effective communication and resourceful adaptation techniques. Formal training expounds on these concepts to teach active listening and mental agility, all while leveraging a student’s natural charisma. Beyond performative communication skills, improv boasts a notable parallel to graduate research – namely, the process is the product. This activity will embolden students to take risks without fear of derision, and instead challenge them to embrace failure as a catalyst for innovation.
