Through the EWTA, scientists learn and improve their skills to effectively communicate scientific principles in multiple forums.\u00a0They will walk in the shoes of attorneys and expert witnesses through simulations and other hands-on exercises, and receive coaching and feedback from experienced, expert faculty.<\/p>\n

\"testifying[1]\"The EWTA is funded in part by the Paleoclimate Program at the National Science Foundation. More than 100 climate scientists have participated in the program since it started in 2011. Participants have come from all across the United States and from a combination of academic institutions, government agencies, public policy organizations, and businesses.<\/p>\n
