Based at Stony Brook University, the Alda-Kavli Learning Center, named for actor, author, and activist Alan Alda, produces virtual learning materials on the art of communication. With a focus on effective science communication, these webinars and other resources empower scientists with the skills they need to share their research findings. Scrolling down to the Webinars for Scientists section, viewers will find presentations about inclusivity in science communications, relationship building, and a primer on social media, among other topics. Led by field experts, most videos are approximately an hour long and include visuals and examples. Readers can also register for upcoming live webinars (note that a three-part "Willingness to Engage Series" is currently underway). Readers may also enjoy the "Science on Stage" series, a conversation between scientists and playwrights on connections between science and art. The Alda-Kavli Learning Center is supported by the Rita Allen Foundation, the Kavli Foundation, and the American Chemical Society.
