Next Generation of Planetary Scientists Learn Public Engagement Skills

Seven undergraduate interns at Arizona State University's FORCE laboratory completed a science communication training program run by NASA's Science Activation initiative.

They put those skills to use at a public open house and university poster session, connecting visitors and peers with their research on planetary formation and evolution.
