Alan Alda: Getting Beyond a Blind Date with Science

He’s not just the M*A*S*H man, he’s also a visiting professor who wants to talk about science, and how scientists, engineers and health professionals can be better communicators.

Mr Alda will draw on personal experiences, including his years as host of the TV series Scientific American Frontiers, to explore why it is so important for scientists, engineers and health professionals to communicate effectively with the public, and how they can do it better.

Mr Alda is a visiting professor in Stony Brook University’s School of Journalism and the co-founder of the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University.
