i have about 3 years of improv training and performance experience doing improv. i cannot oversell the value of this kind of training for academics who present their work to other people (other academics and the public). 10/10 recommend hitting up the local improv shop. also alan alda is super rad.

The “M*A*S*H” star’s program to help researchers overcome their communication challenges now draws thousands. We sat in on a class.
