Out of the lab and onto the streets

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: #ScientistOnTheMove, Academia, Collaboration, Communication, Diversity, Events, In the news, Research, Scientists on the move, Social media, US

Out of the lab and onto the streets

April 22 began with a drizzly ride on rented bikes through the streets of southeast D.C. to the Washington monument. I was accompanied by Dylan Jones, an outdoor recreation and environmental writer from West Virginia. “I typically opt for escaping civilization on Earth Day,” Jones said, “but today I decided to go straight into the heart of it.” We weaved through roads littered with people in rain shells and lab coats, carrying vibrant signs and rainbow umbrellas.  Read more

Why I marched for science – a transatlantic perspective

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: #ScientistOnTheMove, Academia, Career paths, Communication, Diversity, Europe, Events, In the news, US

Why I marched for science – a transatlantic perspective

On Saturday, April 22nd, myself and an estimated 11,000 other science supporters marched in Berlin. The event was part of the global “March for Science” that took place in over 600 cities worldwide. While the March here and everywhere else was a great success in putting a spotlight on the importance of research and the danger of building on false facts, I’m worried it won’t have a lasting effect on the public perception of science if we don’t improve our science communication.  Read more

The next generation of science outreach

The next generation of science outreach

In the wake of the US presidential election in November 2017, the scientific community has recognized that it has fallen short in communicating the value of science and research. As a result, scientists are now calling for increased public outreach and communication efforts. While this awareness is important, the path forward is not entirely clear.  Read more

Exploring science communication

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: #ScientistOnTheMove, Academia, Blog, Career paths, Careers articles, Communication, Competition, Europe, In the news, Research

Exploring science communication

There’s a few reasons why scientists may be discouraged from science communication. Here, I’m hoping to break down some of those barriers, and introduce channels and platforms where scientists can practise. First, here are some of the reasons stopping more scientists from practising science communication, as well as my rebuttals.  Read more

Science communication: What it takes

Science communication: What it takes

Communicating about science is a noble profession, and one that’s becoming increasingly and ever more popular. Yet it isn’t the right fit for everyone. I got started in this field about five years ago, and was surprised by many of the things I needed that no one had ever mentioned. Here’s what no one ever tells you you’ll need.  Read more
