Listen "Overly-honest AMA about scicomm stuff that’s gotta change"
Episode Synopsis
REMINDER: We’re running another cohort of SciComm STEP next spring! Applications are live right now on our website (MeteorSciComm.org)! 🥳 In this fast-paced episode (with a few audio flickers, boo Wyoming wind that knocks out the internet), we make this honest podcast about scicomm with impact a bit #overlyhonest. We tackle: Why we think academia still matters Why people “valuing” scicomm ain’t what we need The truth that professional development is too-often worse than no investment/change at all A tough reality: there’s no one place to go to “level up” your scicomm career if you’re beyond-beginner How we deal with (the unavoidable, we argue) jealousy of being advanced scicomm'ers How to stop getting in your own way with your scicomm project/funding pitches Dig in for yourself: What’s a scicomm change you’re going to make in 2024? And, what’s one honest thing about scicomm systems that you think needs to be said out loud?! We love you for being part of the Meteor community for another season! 💖 Stay connected with us on BlueSky at @bgmerkle.bsky.social and @vgwschutte.bsky.social.
