Scientific American and the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University have launched a free, 5-episode, online series aimed at helping scientists and engineers write blogs and op-eds for magazines, newspapers and other news outlets.

Presented in partnership with The Kavli Foundation, this live-streamed series was launched on October 13, 2017 by actor and science communication advocate Alan Alda and Scientific American Editor-in-Chief Mariette DiChristina. Alda shared his personal successes using improvisational theater exercises to build empathy and connection, while DiChristina shed light on the kind of stories Scientific American readers are craving.
