Apart from classroom presentations to their instructors and peer groups, STEM students have limited opportunities or encouragement to engage in guided communication of scientific concepts to others (family, friends, or the general public). A critical need exists for accurate, comprehensible science to be disseminated to these groups. To develop student proficiency in communication of complex biomolecular concepts impacting diverse audiences, I introduce learning approaches and assessments easily adapted to fit the needs of individual instructors and any molecular biology or biochemistry laboratory or lecture course in a remote/online environment. To help students develop an appreciation of the needs of different audiences and the nuanced drivers of clear communication, I provided them the choice of projects of similar length: Option (1) Create a scientific news release and short podcast or video clip newscast describing a recent advancement in understanding the molecular/biochemical basis of a disease; or Option (2) Create a lesson plan and mini-video designed to teach a simple biochemical or molecular mechanism of disease with learning objectives, a brief activity, and appropriate assessment mechanisms. Students who chose the scientific news release/newscast activity distilled complex biomolecular concepts using the 5 W's of journalism-who, what, where, why, when-and learned to accurately communicate the relevance of advanced scientific discoveries and recent events for a broader audience. Students who chose the lesson plan designed activities centered on biomolecular science concepts that build upon what their audience already knows, revealing possibilities for undergraduates to contribute to educational outreach to secondary school teachers and classes.

:除了课堂上向其讲师和同龄人的演讲之外,STEM学生在与他人(家人,朋友或公众)进行科学概念的指导性交流方面的机会或鼓励也很有限。迫切需要将准确,易于理解的科学传播给这些群体。为了提高学生对影响不同受众的复杂生物分子概念进行交流的能力,我介绍了适合于个别讲师以及任何分子生物学或生物化学实验室或远程/在线环境中的课程的教学方法和评估方法,可以轻松地适应这些要求。为了帮助学生理解不同受众的需求以及清晰沟通的细微驱动力,我为他们提供了类似时长的项目选择:选项(1)创建科学新闻发布以及简短的播客或视频剪辑新闻播报,描述近期新闻在了解疾病的分子/生化基础方面的进步;或选项(2)创建课程计划和微型视频,以教授简单的疾病生化或分子机制为目标,并提供学习目标,简短活动和适当的评估机制。选择科学新闻发布/新闻播报活动的学生使用新闻的5 W蒸馏了复杂的生物分子概念-他们是谁,什么,在哪里,为什么,何时何地-并学会了向更广泛的受众准确传达先进的科学发现和近期事件的相关性。选择课程计划的学生设计了围绕生物分子科学概念的活动,这些概念建立在听众已经知道的基础上,从而揭示了大学生为中学教师和班级的教育拓展做出贡献的可能性。
