Improvisers are experts in storytelling, spontaneity, and using observational skills to adjust to their audiences and team members as needed. Scientists, generally speaking … well, not so much. Haden and Zelenski developed this course to help those working in the science fields to effectively communicate their work to different audiences, adjust their behavior in real time to respond to audience feedback, and manipulate their vocal and physical presence to communicate more effectively. These skills won’t do wonders just for scientists in the workplace — find out how improvisation can inspire you, too.
