Why do Outreach?
OUTREACH PARTICIPATION GETS YOU:
1. A platform for communicating the value and joy of the scientific endeavor to the current and future voting public.
2. A chance to polish your communication skills with a large and diverse group of people.
3. An opportunity to broaden your knowledge base and remember why you love science.
4. A ‘Service’ line to add to your CV/resume showing a commitment to both your community and your field that goes beyond your research work.
