  1. Effective communication in science is recognized as an important component of training for STEM professionals. This project focuses specifically on improving scientific communication to achieve this goal. Two learning communities that pair STEM research and inquiry activities in biology and chemistry with a public speaking course are being implemented with intentional and sustained instruction and mastery experiences to develop students’ science communication skills. The hypothesis is that instruction on how to communicate science effectively can result in an increase in students' understanding, confidence, and identity as a scientist. This can result in greater student engagement in the major and improved retention in STEM disciplines. Our aim is to test this curriculum intervention to determine its effectiveness in improving student communication ability and achievement.
