Today, scientists increasingly bear the responsibility of sharing scientific results with the public. To help meet this challenge, there is a need to provide scientists with training in science outreach and education. This kind of professional development would benefit both scientists and the public if scientists could learn these skills while simultaneously creating resources that can be shared with the larger community. To this end, we have developed "Annotator Professional Development," an interactive professional development opportunity designed to introduce interested graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and STEM professionals to the basic principles of science education through participation in an educational outreach opportunity. Here we present details about this project including data suggesting that participants begin to comprehend how outreach skills can be valuable in a variety of STEM careers. We also discuss the feasibility and potential of expanding the program.
