Communicating psychology: Becoming an undergraduate ambassador to share science
Last spring, I was an undergraduate student in an inaugural course called Communicating Psychological Science. At first, I was a little apprehensive about speaking out to my peers about psychological topics, but eventually, I became accustomed to the weekly routine of it and learned to enjoy it. My apprehension, perhaps like many undergraduates, was that I didn’t have enough experience speaking in front of others. While that is a valid fear, it is important to realize that most work in the field of psychology requires the ability to communicate effectively.
