Miller-McCune journalists regularly participate in media training courses for scientists in collaboration with the Communication Partnership for Science and the Sea (COMPASS), the Aldo Leopold Leadership Institute, and individual research institutions. These workshops help scientists understand how the mass media approach science and researchers, how that journalistic ethic varies from science as usual, and how both sides can work together to ensure news is presented accurately and engagingly.
