Join Dr. Burke Cullen from Seneca to learn about their brand new program designed to enhance the communication skills of scientists and science professionals in leadership roles.

Seneca’s Science Communication Executive Certificate program is the only one of its kind in Ontario. It will equip you with the key knowledge and skills you need for effective science communication across a variety of platforms.

This program is for research scientists, managers in science-based fields or for those with a background in research science, regulatory affairs or other science-based fields. It will also be of interest to you if you’re a scientist working at a hospital and want to become a better writer, storyteller or digitally-engaged communicator.
