Six years ago, my brand-new university degree qualified me to apply for a Ph.D. program studying strange stuff in strange places.

Luckily, I got a scholarship, moved to a remote place in the UK and my initial experiments kicked off alright. Everything seemed to be under control. I was excited! Until I had to write my first year report.

“You don’t write like a typical scientist,” my first Ph.D. supervisor said at the time, handing me back my review draft. I wasn’t sure whether to take his remark as an encouragement, a dismissal, or both. In my Neverland he might as well have said that I write like a pro.

CAISE: A Boundary-Spanning Resource for Informal STEM Learning and Science Communication

4/8/2021

By: Jamie Bell

Whether seeking broader impacts for their research, planning to work more inclusively and equitably with their local communities or wanting to build and share education, communication and outreach knowledge for the wider field, scientists and STEM-based professionals often want to know what has worked for others and under what conditions.

What is CAISE?

The Center for Advancement of Informal Science Education (CAISE) is a resource center for the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program at the US National Science Foundation that provides resources and connectivity for informal STEM learning or science communication professionals who are seeking project examples, research articles or evaluation reports to inform their thinking and work, leveraging projects funded by the AISL program as a starting place.
