Find your next science communication step with one-on-one coaching
Are you a scientist looking to make your science more accessible?
Do you dream of reaching a broader audience and sharing your science with the world?
With this personal SciComm coaching programme, we will work on getting your science out so others can learn from it.
Hello, I am Sarah Wettstadt, and I used to be a microbiology researcher. After completing my postdoc, I swapped the lab coat for the laptop to share science with anyone interested in it. I am writing, blogging and strategising science communication for various audiences and clients, always with the goal of making science accessible.
After several years in the science communication field, I now also want to help scientists like you become great communicators. I wish for you to share your science with the world so others can learn from you and your research.
Why science communication coaching
I know that getting started in science communication can be confusing. You want to share your knowledge with the world, but getting started seems difficult. You have several ideas, but you’re not sure which one to focus on first.
Or you’re already experienced in science communication and want to make a career of it. I know from experience that leaving the ivory tower can be overwhelming and the lack of support may make you doubt your decision.
In both cases, I’m happy to listen to your ideas without judgement and give you advice on how to move forward. Together, we will develop a sustainable strategy to realise your ideas so you can share your science with your audience. I will be your sounding board and accountability partner, helping you to keep an optimistic attitude and an open mind.
What science communication coaching with me will look like:
You can choose any number of sessions in advance, depending on what makes the most sense to you. Choose just one session if you have several burning questions that you want to get answered in 60 minutes. During that time, you can pick my brain on everything SciComm-related and I’ll give you personal advice and tips to work out your next steps.
You can also book more sessions at once for a structured approach to build your SciComm journey. During our first session, we’ll discuss your situation, explore the areas that you want to work on and develop a strategy for you to work through. Within the next sessions, we’ll develop your next steps and refine your strategy so you can realise your science communication project.
During our one-on-one coaching sessions, you have the opportunity to tap into my experience in the science communication field. I’m happy to brainstorm ideas for your SciComm project, help you find the right words to bring your science across or plan out your next career steps. Either way, we’ll work on how to best communicate your science to the people you want to reach.
