Mathematicians have many opportunities to share their work and passion beyond academia, from K–12 classrooms and museums to writing projects and media outreach. In this professional development seminar, Alexandria Volkening will discuss diverse approaches to public-science communication in mathematics, highlight practical examples, and share resources for getting involved. Here is the abstract of her talk.

Title: Public-science communication and outreach in mathematics
Abstract: Whether leading crafts or tutorials in K12 classrooms, giving presentations in senior-citizen centers, writing expository articles or publications for children, interacting with journalists, developing online resources, or getting involved in museums, there are many ways to share math in public-science settings. In this informal seminar, we will talk about the various opportunities and venues for getting involved that we have encountered, and I’ll share some resources for and examples of public-science communication.
