Finding your voice, or someone else’s

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

There’s a nuance to scicomm careers that can really bog down your mental energy…and even complicate how you think about your own identity. 

That is: doing scicomm well often requires taking on the identity and ‘voice’ of the organization - or project, place, or even species - that you’re representing or sharing about. 

So this week, we tackle things like: 

• What you have to weigh when you’re representing someone/something else 
• Everyone knows there’s a person behind the social media account, but what’s that mean for scicommers who are that person? 
• What drives the shift to frame things in your own voice instead 
• The many voices of a single scicomm career 

Dig in for yourself: Is your voice your own right now? And, how do you feel about that?
