The million-dollar question every scientist should be asking

I recently had a phone call with a frustrated colleague looking for some advice. She had two key pressure points, both common in the field of science communication.  Read more

A term at the museum

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Career paths, Communication, Perspectives, Scientists on the move

A term at the museum

Earlier last year, I attended the Week of International Scientific Talent in Paris, and found that museums can be excellent platforms for scientists eager to apply scientific knowledge outside of their labs. Curious to learn more about this avenue of science communication, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there is growing interest in applying scientific concepts to museum settings.  Read more

March for Science 2018 gears up

Posted by Karen Kaplan | Categories: Academia, Admin, Communication, Data, Diversity, Events, Faculty, In the news, Industry, news, PhD, Postdoc, Postgraduate, Relationships, Research, Scientists on the move, Social media, UK, Undergraduate, US

March for Science 2018 gears up

Caroline Weinberg, an organizer for the upcoming march in Washington DC, expects smaller crowds than last year, although she admits her prediction may again be off the mark. “Last we expected 40,000 people, and we got around 100,000,” she says. She adds that most of the marchers in the nation’s capital city were concerned citizens, not practicing researchers.  Read more

Como Se Dice “DNA”?

Posted by Rebecca Wild | Categories: Blog, Communication, Relationships, Research

Como Se Dice “DNA”?

Young scientists are sometimes asked to explain their science to the public as if they were talking to a grandparent. For me, that meant boiling down my studies in DNA structure to reach my grandmother, who has a 4th-grade education and Spanish as her first language. The challenge of demystifying my science was daunting.  Read more

Fake snot, bogus blood, no jokes: Science communication to kids made simple

Posted by David Payne | Categories: Communication, How to answer

Sarah Barnes addressing the Academy of Medical Sciences winter meeting in London

The Centre of the Cell in London’s East End is the world’s first science education centre to be housed in an operating biomedical research facility, an embryo-shaped pod suspended high above the Blizard Institute’s labs, part of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). It is accessed via a bridge and offers children the chance to see scientists at work, watch videos projected onto the pod’s ceiling, and play games aimed at triggering their interest in cell biology and medical research.  Read more

Of message and meaning

Posted by David Payne | Categories: #NJCELondon, Career paths, Communication

Of message and meaning

For me, the Naturejobs Career Expo in London was a happy mix of career development advice, networking, aspirational talks, and a bird’s-eye view of the various opportunities that exist for scientists in a variety of fields. With so much going on, I was surprised to walk away with what seems to be a very simple realisation: that the main skill that will make the difference between being a good scientist and having a successful scientific career is your ability to effectively communicate.  Read more
