Science Communication Program Certificate Recipient, Maiko Uemura, Promoted to Junior Faculty at Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU)

Over the last decade, we have trained 1000+ biomedical postdocs in clear and effective communication for science communication and engaging in strategic rhetoric in order to Tell Your Research Story. This training is available in various models, such as 2 and 4-hour workshops, hybrid models, and a 5-week certificate program.

Maiko Uemura, MD/PhD, took our certificate program in 2022 at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, when she was a researcher at the Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research. Maiko has been dedicated to honing her communication skills to best represent her research, her lab, and her field. This focus on effective communication will allow wider audiences to understand the value and importance of her research, ultimately benefiting herself and that institutions she represents.

We work intensively with Maiko as she prepared for important presentations, talks, and as she began to make a career move back to her home country of Japan. We were recently notified that Maiko has been named Faculty at Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU) in Japan.

Past trainees and certificate program graduates periodically update us on their career paths, and we are honored that they view us as an important part of their journey there. Clear and effective communication is a learned skill, and it’s important that all researchers and scholars are offered comprehensive trainings that allow them to continue to craft it.
