Guru - who, you?

A quick opening note: Our last episode for this season will be an open Q&A. Send us your questions, ideas, puzzles and dilemmas by September 6. We’ll fit in as many as we can for the September 8 episode! 

In scicomm, it’s inevitable to run into some expertise questions. There’s the matter of whether one has expertise in science, how that compares to the expertise of others, whether one feels confident in their own expertise, and how expertise is and isn’t respected. 

So, this week, we tackle questions like: 

• Who defines expertise? 
• Who actually *is* an expert? 
• What responsibility goes along with that? 
• What if you don’t feel like you’re an expert but you’re asked to do expert things? 

Dig in for yourself: How do you feel about being called an expert? And, what’s one thing you’re really good at that you can help other people with?

Thanks for listening! Give yourself some props - we’ll cheer you on at https://www.twitter.com/meteorscicomm!
