First - two big announcements: Our last episode will be a Q&A- send us your questions, ideas, puzzles, and dilemmas by December 1st. We’re running another cohort of SciComm STEP next spring! Applications are live right now on our website (MeteorSciComm.org)! 🥳 Truly, yelling and naming is how we process, cope, and then work toward action and change when we’re facing schtuff that’s inequitable, obstructionist, or devalues work in scicomm. We talk through a lot of layers on this one: Naming what is really going on when people and systems undervalue the vital work that makes communities, systems, and good change happen Pushing back to make the work more legible or appreciated Taking a hard look in the mirror: how much of this work do you want to keep doing?  Weighing whether someone even knows or intends the disrespect Holding an icy grip on rage in order to move through the spaces we need to operate in And all the time, we need community that can validate us when we are angry, and hold space when we are furious. We also talk about a couple of books that have been a valuable frame for us: The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women’s Dead-End Work Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger Dig in for yourself: What is a systemic scicomm issue that you just need to name right now? And, what’s something you need to yell and stomp your feet about? Thanks for listening! Get good and mad! 🤬😤 You can holler at/with us on BlueSky at @bgmerkle.bsky.social and @vgwschutte.bsky.social.
