Read about my journey into SciComm
Luckily, but also frustratingly, science communication comes in many shades, colours, experiences and possibilities. And all these different possibilities can be quite overwhelming. So, no matter which step you’re at in your SciComm journey, the question of “What now?” hangs above your head probably all the time.
And I know that it can be difficult to find the right resources, make a solid plan or find someone to talk to about your ideas. This is why I made it my goal to support you during each step of your journey.
Don’t let overwhelm keep you from becoming an amazing science communicator. Your scientific knowledge is too valuable not to be shared with the world. It’s time to make an impact.
Levelling Up In Science Communication
To develop your SciComm skills, the training program is divided into different phases, from one ⭐️ to three ⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars. Each of these phases represents your experience level in your science communication journey.
Within each level, you can choose one or more topics that interest you. When you master a topic, you will gain a SciComm ⭐️, meaning you’re prepared for a topic at the next level. But you can also explore more topics within the same level to improve your all-around SciComm skills.
And remember, this is your journey, and you know where you are starting. So, you can also enter at a higher experience level and begin courses at the ⭐️⭐️ or ⭐️⭐️⭐️ level.
