Apply to Notation in Science Communication

Do you love science but are eager for more creative opportunities to write and speak about it? Do you want to learn how to communicate technical information while also speaking in your own voice, language, and culture? Do you want to meet peers passionate about sharing all kinds of science with diverse audiences?

Then apply to join the Notation in Science Communication, a mini-minor designed to help you develop effective practices for communicating your scientific research to a wide range of audiences – all while completing your work in your major!

The Notation only requires 14-16 units of coursework and provides you with the opportunity to create an electronic portfolio as a capstone, showcasing your work in science communication. As an NSC student, you will have the opportunity to explore a range of modes of science communication including podcasting, opinion writing, storytelling, data visualization, and more.

When potential employers or graduate programs see that you have completed a Notation in Science Communication, they will know that you have documented expertise in communicating knowledge to other scientists and to wider public audiences.

Check out previous students’ capstones at our ePortfolio archive here.
Check out NSC here.

It's impressive to do great research ...
It's even more impressive to be able to share that research effectively across media and with different audiences!

The application process is brief and the deadline is Monday, October 26th at 5pm

Human Health X Extreme Heat
Join the Stanford Sustainability Accelerator (https://sustainability-accelerator.stanford.edu/) for a Climate Week Event: Human Health x Extreme Heat

Breakfast and coffee served!

What happens inside your body when it gets too hot, and why is heat a public health problem rather than just a weather forecast? Extreme heat kills more people worldwide than any other climate-driven hazard, yet it is the least visible. Eleni Myrivili, the world’s first UN Global Chief Heat Officer, opens with how cities around the world are working to protect people. A panel of researchers then takes up what heat does to our health, who is most at risk, and what works to keep people safe.

Meet folks working on extreme heat, learn about the resources at the Sustainability Accelerator, and hear from our incredible speakers.

Speakers:
Eleni Myrivili is the world’s first UN Global Chief Heat Officer. She’s implemented multi-million dollar green infrastructure projects to help increase access to green spaces, shade, and cooling shelters. She’s a leading voice on heat resilience and climate justice. Fun fact: Eleni gave the first Ted Talk about
Extreme Heat.

John Openshaw is an infectious disease physician and medical epidemiologist whose work centers on how the environment shapes health, particularly in low-resource settings.

H. Craig Heller is a Stanford biologist who has spent more than five decades studying how the brain controls body temperature, sleep, and circadian rhythms. He co-authors the textbook Life: The Science of Biology and has taught physiology to generations of Stanford undergraduates.

Scarlet Sands-Bliss is a researcher at Tracking California where she works with Tribal representatives, behavioral health workers, and other community partners in rural Lake County on how communities can prepare for extreme heat. Tracking California is an independent environmental public health program that has spent nearly 25 years collecting and publishing data on the health effects of environmental exposures.

Friday, October 23 from 9:00AM to 11:30AM

Arts & Environment Social Gala

🎨 Delve into Stanford Climate Week with this highly interactive gala, art exhibition, and community mixer. You'll have the chance to explore multifaceted, expressive applications of environmentalism. Whether you choose to contribute to an interactive community mural, ring a note on an interactive musical art piece, or simply grab a picture with friends, you'll leave the gala with a renewed understanding of creative sustainability :)

🌿 Alongside featured artists, including Stanford faculty and students, we’ll be highlighting the work of campus/nonprofit organizations (O’Dohonue Farm, FashionX, Venice Tap Water, FabMo, Climate Music, Brushstrokes for the Bay, and Eco Innovate).

*FashionX and FabMo will be hosting hands-on mending/upcycling stations to encourage sustainable approaches to self-expression; if you’d like to revitalize one of your own clothing items,
be sure to bring them!

Date: 10/23/2026
Time: 4:00-6:00PM
Location: Stanford d.school, 416 Escondido Mall #550, Stanford, CA 94305

Who Gets to Tell the Story of a City?
Community-Engaged Storytelling and Knowledge-Making in New Orleans

Wednesday, October 21, 2026 1:30 – 2:45 pm

Please RSVP here to attend.

Who gets to tell the story of a place? In New Orleans, a city shaped by Black cultural traditions and political struggles, whose voices get heard, and who preserves and passes on its stories? What role can universities play?

Join E’Jaaz Mason ( https://profiles.stanford.edu/ejaaz-mason ) and Bryan Wagner ( https://english.berkeley.edu/people/bryan-wagner ) for a conversation about storytelling, education, and community collaboration in New Orleans. Mason, a filmmaker, educator, and founder of Lede New Orleans, works with emerging Black and Brown storytellers on projects exploring community histories and environmental justice. He also teaches community-engaged multimedia storytelling at Stanford. Wagner, a UC Berkeley professor of English, leads An Open Classroom on New Orleans Culture, bringing together artists, scholars, educators, and community leaders to create multimedia resources on the city's history and culture.

Moderated by Katie Eleanor Dieter ( https://aaas.stanford.edu/people/katie-eleanor-dieter ), a scholar of Black visual culture and community-engaged education, the conversation will explore questions of authorship, power, and collaboration, and what it means to tell stories with communities rather than simply about them.

The promise is bold: clean energy that is cheap, reliable, and limitless. 🌍 But can renewables really power a modern economy? 🔌 Is enhanced geothermal a true breakthrough, or still years away? And is California leading the clean energy transition, or falling behind states like Texas? ☀️

Join Stanford Abundance on October 21, Wednesday, at 12:45 PM to see two people who have worked on these questions from very different angles put the biggest claims to the test.

🎤 Gabe Malek, Stanford Law student and former chief of staff at Fervo Energy, one of the leading companies in enhanced geothermal
🎤 Professor Deborah Sivas, Luke W. Cole Professor of Environmental Law and director of Stanford’s Environmental Law Clinic
