Brook University, and iBiology.

Participants in the YSS must apply to be selected. PhD candidates or
postdocs with an interesting research story and good presentation skills
are eligible to apply. Four winners will attend a multi-day workshop in San
Francisco led by the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science, a leading
organization in training scientists to give effective talks, in
collaboration with iBiology. After this training, the selected scientists
will record their 30-minute talks in a green screen studio, which will be
posted on iBiology.org <http://ibiology.org/> as part of a the Young
Scientist Seminars
