Dr. Jacqueline Goldstein joined the MIT Communication Lab as an Instructional Designer in 2021. She develops curricula to train Communication Fellows in technical communication and peer-coaching best practices.
Jacqueline earned her Ph.D. in Astronomy, minoring in Life Sciences Communication, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During her Ph.D. she developed a passion for fostering understanding and connection through science communication. She hosted a radio show about astronomy news on WORT 89.9FM, organized lectures for graduate researchers to share their science with undergraduates, and led workshops with Story Form Science training researchers to communicate their science through story. Wanting to share best practices in communication, Jacqueline launched SciCommBites – a blog summarizing the latest science communication research.
Jacqueline’s approach to training is influenced by research on inclusion, equity, and intersectionality in science communication. She is thrilled to continue her work with the MIT Communication Lab.
