For this week's #SciCommConversations, we chatted with @DrBommel to find out about her #SciComm journey and interests. A microbiologist turned science communicator, Sarah mostly tells stories about bacteria! Let's get a little glimpse of her work for SciComm aspirants 🧵

.@dorcas_dupe: However, most of my #SciComm is focused on my home country, Nigeria. Most of my team activities have been focused on educating secondary school/high school students about space science. I talk about space science on my social handles as well. #SciCommConversations

.@dorcas_dupe: With #SciComm, we can accelerate solutions to key problems like climate change. Creating awareness about climate change and educating communities will go a long way in averting more risks. #SciCommConversations

Q3. What is your advice for those interested in doing freelance #SciComm, in terms of landing clients? #SciCommConversations

Q2. How did you get into #SciComm? Which area of SciComm (writing, designing, podcasting) is your favorite? #SciCommConversations

.@dorcas_dupe: #SciComm will definitely expand a lot. What is the importance of doing science for the sake of humanity, when the public cannot comprehend it? #SciCommConversations

With the Brazil space agency, we also developed #SciComm projects with Brazilian teachers. I'm also a scientist at @lecturerswb. Recently, I taught high school students in Russia about the Sun & solar eruptions. #SciCommConversations

.@dorcas_dupe: I broke into #SciComm, b/c I am a product of #SciComm. Having studied physics as an undergrad, I never knew what space science was about until I attended an Astronomy camp. I was captivated by the process and experience. #SciCommConversations

For this week's #SciCommConversations, we have a brilliant scientist turned accomplished science writer, @Bri_Barbu. She's a #SciComm professional & science journalist. She writes about many subjects including #chemistry, #physics, and #health. 👇Our Q&A thread with Bri 🧵:

.@dorcas_dupe: The journey has been great but limited. Being a student encumbered with research work, it takes a lot of time to plan and execute research projects. But whenever it's done, the experience is always thrilling. #SciCommConversations #SciComm

It's #StickydotResources time! 🔴 Catch the new episode of the #SciCommConversations podcast by @scicommEU. 🟡 Explore the #CitizenScience navigator by @StepChangeEU. 🔵 Read about the new #AI act in the EU on the @ENJOIproject Observatory. Read on! 👇

.@dorcas_dupe: One example of effective #SciComm happened recently when Ghana was stopped from building its first coal power plant with the dedication of a group of people that educated the communities about the risks involved. https://t.co/qxMA4ffYRj #SciCommConversations

#StickydotResources 🔴 A new paper presents a conceptual framework of five different paradigms of crowd involvement in #citizenscience. 🔵 @FORRTproject shares a #OpenAccess course on #OpenScience. 🟡 The third episode of @scicommEU #SciCommConversations is out! 👇 👇

.@fancycomma: Which area of #SciComm is your favorite, and why? @DrBommel: My favorite medium is the written word. I love reading and will always prefer that over watching a video or listening to a podcast. #SciCommConversations

We talked to DC-based science journalist and #SciCommer @bri_barbu (one of our #SciComm role models!), who, like our founder @SheevaAzma, transitioned to science writing from a science PhD program. #SciCommConversations

.@dorcas_dupe: I'm also a scientist at @lecturerswb (Lecturers without Borders or LeWiBo). Recently, I taught high school students in Russia about the Sun & solar eruptions. #SciCommConversations

For this week's #SciCommConversations, we sat down with space geophysicist and #Scicomm professional @dorcas_dupe. Take a look at 👇 our Q&A thread🧵below (or read the interview at https://t.co/DK9L48Uk9q)

Thank you for taking the time to interview me, @fancycomma! I had fun with the #SciCommConversations.
