The SciComm Journal Club brings together individuals from different fields, professional avenues, and career stages who share an interest in how science is disseminated and understood. Each session centers on a peer‑reviewed paper related to any aspect of the field, selected by the speaker. The SciComm Journal Club was established in 2023 by the Center for Health & Science Communication at Becker Library.
