Why is science communication important to you?
As scientists, we tend to focus on the research or question that we want to answer. However, without communicating our science effectively, our work is less impactful and loses significance. Science communication is how research connects with communities and informs them about scientific advances so that they can understand new technologies and treatments released from industry. I believe that through communicating cool science effectively, we can work to demystify scientific advances and make science entertaining for the public!
