A science engagement workshop held at Rice’s Fondren Library Sept. 28 showed how scientific and technical information can be communicated through creativity and fun.

The event, “Communicating Science Through Improv,” was led by Jennifer Joy, a writer, performer and creator based in New York City whose art celebrates science. The workshop featured improvisational games and activities that connected participants to their imagination and spontaneity, discovering new ways to communicate technical information that can resonate with diverse audiences.

The fast-paced, interactive event encouraged participants to wander out of their comfort zones and immerse themselves in a new method of interpersonal communication.
