Communicating current issues in science and technology During this short course, students will explore some current science and technology issues to enhance their skills in oral communication.

Themes will include scientific ethics, innovation and Sustainable Development Goals. This is not a lecture-style class; students will collaborate with each other to actively build their knowledge and critical thinking abilities. |
