Let’s dig into branding, projects that matter, privilege, and inclusive science communication, with actionable, tangible steps to level up. Join us!

What we think scicomm needs

September 23, 2021 • Meteor: scicomm with impact • Season 1 • Episode 0

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

We think scicomm needs:

More funding,
A reliable way to hold people with power accountable,
Leadership and development opportunities that extend beyond basic skill-building,
More integration between practice and research, and
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.
