Our Mission Statement
The Teaching and Science Communication (TaSC) Club provides a link for trainees to acquire and advance their skills in teaching and science communication with diverse audiences, by providing career development opportunities.
We aim to connect scientists with opportunities to develop their pedagogical and science communication skill set through competitions, workshops, discussion panels, mock lectures, networking events and other activities that promote and support these goals.
Ultimately, we want to build a supportive environment in TaSC during our common search for career advancement and job placement.
More About Us
TaSC is an interest group composed of trainees at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX. Members may include (but are not necessarily limited to) graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, medical students, medical fellows, and health professions students currently at the university. We united 3 UTSW organizations with a central teaching and science communication mission (SPEaC, FLiP, & 3MT) to form TaSC starting August 2023.
We have many goals as a group, as teaching and science communication span wide yet are essential skills that enhance our passion for research. We aim to provide career development opportunities for UT Southwestern trainees, technicians, and staff who are eager expand their skills in teaching and effective communication, to host seminar series in collaboration with the graduate school and nano-course workshops on science communication, and to connect and promote links with local universities and museums to promote our communities to exercise our enthusiasm for science. Overall, we aim to provide an array of activities that will benefit TaSC members, the UT Southwestern community, the larger Dallas community, and the scientific profession as a whole.
