Science Communication
I'm incredibly passionate about science communication. I guess I could say I was a science communicator before I knew that was the job title! My first career as an environmental educator prepared me for presenting scientific concepts to non-expert audiences in an accessible and engaging way. Learning is usually easier and better if it's fun!
Ideally, I would like my future career to include both scientific research AND science communication. Being a part of the research community keeps me acquainted with the latest advances and strengthens my ability to read and digest scientific publications, both of which make me a better science communicator. Being a science communicator gives me practice explaining my research and other complex concepts to a variety of audiences and challenges me to think about things in different ways and from different points of view, both of which make me a better researcher.
