Broad Science

Our science communication workshops for youth introduces young people to alternative science careers, like science journalism. Through our one day workshops, youth learn about scientific interviewing and gain radio production skills. The young journalists then interview an #ActualLivingScientist about their research, successes and failures. This is a collaboration between Broad Science, Let's Talk Science McGill and CKUT 90.3fm
