Dr. McDonough has founded two blogs where graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and science professionals work together to summarize recent journal articles for the general public using language anyone with a high school STEM education can understand. She also serves on the\u00a0Leadership Committee for the\u00a0ComSciCon series of STEM communication workshops<\/a>. These graduate student-run workshops provide inspiring and informative experiences in STEM communication to graduate students, free of cost.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
