Supporting Effective Science Communication Video Production & Science Communicator Training Communicating science matters. People today are inundated with information that is often incomplete, misleading, or poorly communicated. We are increasingly being expected to make decisions with complicated science concepts at their core - as voting citizens, as consumers, as leaders in government and industry. As a researcher, you have a valuable and unique perspective that we would all benefit from hearing. Scientists have an increasingly important role and responsibility to play as communicators. The world benefits from learning what you know and how it impacts our lives, and from experiencing your passion. Visual storytelling is one of the most engaging and compelling means to reach an audience, and I approach every project with a focus on authenticity, accuracy, and audience-centred storytelling. Well-designed science communication is a valuable tool, whether you are planning a community outreach or public education campaign, translating knowledge to inform decision makers, or demonstrating the strength of your research program to prospective students, faculty and funders. Video Production By producing high-quality videos with scientists and research teams I work to help engage stakeholders with your research, and why it matters. Science Communicator Training Through group workshops, researchers and students can take part in science communicator and filmmaking training to help develop their skills as science communicators, and tell their own stories.
