Listen "AUA with a loose theme: What's sustainable scicomm look like these days?"
Episode Synopsis
Per Meteor tradition, our last episode for this season was an open Q&A. This week, we tackled some questions and provocations from y’all! They fit into a loose theme of sustainability, including topics like: Does scicomm have to make money? [Spoiler: we have lotsa thoughts on this!] What scicomm tools are you loving right now? [We talked about time tracking, accountability, and planning.] Recent career realizations that we haven’t talked about on air yet. Keeping up our enthusiasm for long-term scicomm commitments. Aaaaand, we got a little personal with some family relationship strategies that we thiiiink could have relevance for scicomm professionals. Here are the two resources we mention in the episode: Bethann's time-tracking spreadsheet: https://bgmerklecommunications.files.wordpress.com/2022/09/20200511_academic_productivity_time_tracker_resource.xlsx The Typology doc: https://bgmerklecommunications.files.wordpress.com/2022/09/typology-for-public-impact-focused-research.pdf (which comes from this group: https://scholars.unh.edu/research_scholarship/) Dig in for yourself: What are you looking froward to saying yes to or working on for the rest of 2022? Thanks for listening! Keep in touch... we’re working on another Meteor project this fall, and then we’ll be back with season 3 in 2023! See you at https://www.twitter.com/meteorscicomm until then.
