Show Notes

First, a reminder - we launched applications for the first cohort of SciComm STEP last week! Listen to this episode for details and visit our website to apply! https://www.meteorscicomm.org/scicomm-step

Now, change is basically a whole genre of opinion pieces, workshops, and podcasts right now. But, there are some specific, mid-career scicomm aspects of change that we want to tackle. 

So we’re putting a Meteor spin on it this week, talking about: 

  • Wrangling expectations - yours, mine, and ours 
  • Branding and tipping points 
  • Negotiations - how I get what I want, so you get what you need 
  • Treating people right 
  • Whose job is it to follow through on what, and when 
  • Finite and spatial career changes 
  • Trying to stay while leaving 
  • Time tracking to manage change 


Our theme this season is saying yes makes room for action, accountability, impact, and yep, even hope in the realm of scicomm. And grappling with change is a huge part of taking action. 

So, we’re wondering about you: 

  • What changes are you currently considering in your scicomm work? 
  • What factors are you weighing as you think through this decision?
