KICP Education & Outreach Summer School for Graduate Students

The Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics (KICP) is pleased to announce a hands-on summer school for graduate students interested in education and outreach (E&O).

The school will also include a one-day science-communication workshop presented by the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science, field trips to Chicago-area institutions, and a concise introduction to E&O basics.

• 16-27 June 2014, Chicago, IL
