What we think scicomm needs
Show Notes

We want to talk more with fellow science communication professionals (like you!), and we have lots of opinions! 

We think scicomm needs: 

  1. More funding, 
  2. A reliable way to hold people with power accountable, 
  3. Leadership and development opportunities that extend beyond basic skill-building, 
  4. More integration between practice and research, and 
  5. Buy-in and formalized support from those with funding and power. 

Which is why we made Meteor! (https://meteorscicomm.org/

We want to talk with STEM professionals who are exploring science communication as a component of their career and with people who are pursuing a full-time scicomm position within an institution or as an entrepreneur. No matter what your plan with science communication is, we want to help you do it inclusively and sustainably.
