The Communication Fellows rely on their NSE experiences and formal training to help their peers communicate more effectively. You can work with any of the current Fellows or with a member of the Fellow Reserve. As of August 2021, this combined cohort has hosted over 750 hours of one-on-one coaching, working on tasks ranging from lab reports to grant proposals to faculty applications. Make an appointment today to work on any technical communication task that’s on your plate, whether you’re still at the brainstorming stage or almost ready to turn in your draft. We’re here to help!
