so, you're in luck. SciFund Challenge (a non-profit organization) is<br>
organizing an outreach training class for scientists that will be<br>
running for five weeks, from late October to late November. The class<br>
is free and is intended for scientists that are new to outreach, but<br>
would like to get started with it. The class is open to scientists at<br>
any level, in any discipline. The class will be conducted over the<br>
Internet, so all countries are welcome. The deadline to fill out the<br>
short application form is <span><span>October 16th</span></span>. You can find more information<br>
about the class here:<br clear="all"><a href="http://scifundchallenge.org/blog/2015/09/25/free-outreach-training-class-for-scientists-is-back/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://scifundchallenge.org/blog/2015/09/25/free-outreach-training-class-for-scientists-is-back/</a><br>-------------<br>-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><pre cols="72"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Frank W.
