AB: The focus of this talk will be to offer scientists some ideas and information that you can readily use, or adapt & use, and also give you a realistic picture of what's involved in designing and implementing effective educational programs. The discussion will elaborate on essential elements of E and O other than money, e.g. choosing an audience, enlisting complementary educational & scientific expertise, settling on ways to effectively deliver concepts & content, and striving for enduring value in the resources you create. A number of examples will be provided ranging from the ineffective to very effective.
