Hey y'all! I am excited to announce that I am offering workshops for scientists interested in improving their communication skills. These workshops are developed in collaboration with #scicomm researchers and experts to ensure they are evidence-based and practical.

Thank you Wildscreen for letting me nerd out about the science of #SciComm! To sciComm orgs out there, I’m always happy to discuss talking Sci of SciComm on your panels OR introduce you to the right people, so please don’t hesitate to reach out!
