Let’s talk about #SciComm

There are plenty of reasons to become active in the field of science communication, and for many early career researchers (ECRs) still exploring research, it’s a great way to find their niche and voice their opinions.  Read more

The way to success in science

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: #ScientistOnTheMove, Academia, Blog, Careers articles, Communication, Competition, Mobility, Perspectives, Relationships, Research

The way to success in science

A degree in science is just one stepping stone on a long path with varied exits, curves and about-turns. Choosing wisely is not always an easy task, but there’s no right way to success: there’s a whole lot out there to choose from.  Read more

The importance of broadening science communication

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: #ScientistOnTheMove, Academia, Blog, Career paths, Communication, Faculty, In the news, Publishing, Research

The importance of broadening science communication

Recently, more and more emphasis has been put on scientists to communicate their research to public audiences. National scientific organizations such as the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the American Society for Cell Biology encourage their members to reach beyond the bench, and many blogs help scientists describe their research to wider audiences. At the University of Pittsburgh, where I’m working on my PhD, graduate student and postdoc organizations on campus share their excitement about science with the public through partnerships with local museums and school districts.  Read more

The “black box” effect in science communication

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: #NJCELondon, #ScientistOnTheMove, Academia, Communication, Events, Research

The “black box” effect in science communication

In July 2016 scientists found out how to map the brain into dozens of new areas using neuroimaging. We also discovered that thousands of such brain scanning studies may be flawed. To someone lacking insight into neuroscience, these two equally important studies can seem conflicting. Although “science communication” happens everywhere, science can still feel like a black box to the public, mysteriously churning out breakthroughs which are packaged and relayed by a barrage of tweets and headlines.  Read more

Finding a place to hang my lab coat

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: #NJCELondon, #ScientistOnTheMove, Academia, Blog, Career paths, Competition, Events, Mobility

Finding a place to hang my lab coat

When now ex-Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbot abolished the role of science minister in September 2013, members of Australia’s scientific community fastened our seat belts. This telling sign signalled the first of many cuts to science and innovation before the new government delivered their knock-out punch to the industry in the form of the 2014-15 budget.  Read more
