Although much of our time is filled up with producing science, there are many opportunities at Harvard to take your interests in science and share them with broader audiences. Here are some science outreach activities that happen on campus and in the Boston Area. They are often looking for graduate students to give talks or help with planning logistics.

Café Sci:

Café Sci encourages open, easy-to-understand conversation about interesting topics in science. No lectures. No PowerPoint. No technical jargon. http://www.sciencecafes.org/find/02138

Science in the News:

Science in the News (SITN) is a program based at the Harvard Medical School that takes recent science topics that have been in the news and explains them to the general public. SITN produces a lecture series in the Fall as well as electronic newsletters. Several OEB grad students have been involved with this in the past.

Harvard Museum of Natural History:

The HMNH is Harvard's public museum that presents a historic and interdisciplinary exploration of science and nature. They are often looking for students to help teach short courses on broad topics related to natural history.
