Communicating Science Beyond the Lab

As scientists, we spend a lot of time learning how to communicate our work to other researchers. But being able to explain what we do to people outside of our field is just as important. Clear, accessible science communication can help patients, families, policymakers, and the broader public better understand why scientific research matters.

At this year’s MSTP retreat, students practiced this skill by rewriting their research abstracts for a general audience. Building on that activity, we are introducing new feature highlighting student research written at approximately a 5th- or 6th-grade level. First up, we have Zach Ewell (G3): Finding Better CD8 T Cells to Kill Cancer! Continue reading here. Read more here...

The Vanderbilt MSTP Research for All course has officially wrapped up its fifth summer, marking an exciting milestone for the program. After four years of implementing the same foundational curriculum, this summer we piloted an entirely new set of sessions that built on the course’s previous foundation while exploring topics directly relevant to physician-scientists in training. This year also saw the highest attendance in the five-year history of the course, reflecting strong interest from MSTP students.

Our 9 students in the Vanderbilt MSTP Summer Undergraduate Research Program closed out their time with us by presenting their summer research at the Vanderbilt Summer Science Academy Poster Session and completed oral presentations for our MSTP Summer Research Symposium. We invited the summer students’ families to campus for the symposium where they were able to learn more about our program, MD-PhD training, and see the summer students’ research presentations. We are proud of all the summer scholars accomplished this summer!
