We crave advanced-user conversations with other mid-career scicomm professionals (like us!) so we can learn and grow together, and check each other when we need it. Let’s dig into branding, projects that matter, privilege, and inclusive science communication, with actionable, tangible steps to level up. Join us!

There’s a nuance to scicomm careers that can really bog down your mental energy…and even complicate how you think about your own identity.
That is: doing scicomm well often requires taking on the identity and ‘voice’ of the organization - or project, place, or even species - that you’re representing or sharing about.
So this week, we tackle things like:
- What you have to weigh when you’re representing someone/something else
- Everyone knows there’s a person behind the social media account, but what’s that mean for scicommers who are that person?
- What drives the shift to frame things in your own voice instead
- The many voices of a single scicomm career
Dig in for yourself: Is your voice your own right now? And, how do you feel about that?
