Science communication skills are increasingly emphasized as an important skill for undergraduate STEM students. In our science communication podcast project, students use the fundamentals of science communication to research a topic related to their inquiry-based lab project. Groups then create a podcast that presents the current science to a general audience. This project has been run in an integrated introductory biology and chemistry course each semester since 2018. Student course evaluations indicate that they enjoy having autonomy over the topic and style of their podcast. Students' confidence in their science communication skills increased after completion of this multiweek scaffolded project.
