#scicomm

Recording Let’s Talk Scicomm with Michael has been one of my most rewarding and fulfilling projects over the last three years.

For our 100th episode we had a lot of fun asking each other all the rapid fire questions we’ve asked our guests over the past 13 seasons.

We hope you’ll enjoy our chat 💙

The text on this image says New Episode Out Now: 20 questions with Jen and Michael. In the centre of the image is a photo of Jen and Michael with a tree, grass and blue sky behind them. On the left is Michael, a tall white man with dark brown hair and wearing a dark blue shirt. Next to him is Jen, a white woman who is much shorter than Michael, with light brown hair cut above her shoulders. She is wearing a black short sleeved top with colourful animal prints on it. She has sunglasses perched on the top of her head. Both Michael and Jen are holding icecream cones and smiling. The rest of the image is light blue, pink, dark blue, cream and pink geometric shapes. At the bottom left is the Let’s Talk SciComm logo.

If you were an icecream, what flavour would you be?

This is just one of the hard-hitting questions @michael-wheeler.bsky.social & @scidocmartin.bsky.social had fun answering in our 100th episode 😂

Huge thanks to all our fabulous listeners for your support 🙏💙

The text on this image says New Episode Out Now: Our Scicomm Highs and Lows. In the centre of the image is a photo of 5 people with a glass window and wind chime behind them. From left to right are a tall man (Michael) with dark brown short hair and wearing a pale blue shirt. Next to him is Linden - a woman with long straight brown hair, wearing a bright orange jumper. Next to Linden is Jen with shoulder length pale brown hair and wearing a blue denim jacket and black pants. To the right of Jen is a woman, Catriona, wearing a dark blue and white patterned dress and glasses. Her long dark hair is tied back. On the far right is Graham, a tall man with gray hair is wearing a brick red jumper and blue jeans. Everyone is smiling and Jen is holding a white picture frame with a cartoon of 5 penguins. If you look closely, the cartoon penguins each have distinguishing features to suggest that each one of the penguins represents one of the people in the photo and the five people are standing in the same order as their caricature penguin. This cartoon was a gift to Jen for her 50th birthday from the rest of the teaching team and the photo was taken at her 50th birthday party. The rest of the image is light blue, pink, dark blue and yellow geometric shapes. At the bottom left is the Let’s Talk SciComm logo.

I learned lots from our team chat about #scicomm highs and lows. It was such fun to record! Hope you enjoy listening just as much! 🎙️

What have our #scicomm teaching team members learnt from our soaring highs and crushing lows? Find out on episode 99 of this excellent podcast

The text on this image says New This Week: Our Scicomm Highs and Lows. In the centre of the image is a photo of 5 people with a beach and evening sky behind them. There are 4 people at the front of the image - from left to right: a tall grey-haired man (Graham) wearing a speckled brick-red jumper; and then three shorter women, all with brown hair. The woman on the left (Jen) is wearing a black shirt with green leaves and orange flowers and an orange jacket. Next to her (Linden) is wearing a plain black jumper. And next to Linden is Catriona, wearing a blue denim jacket and dark-rimmed glasses. Behind the four of them is another tall man (Michael) who has dark brown hair and is wearing a plain dark clue shirt. The rest of the image is light blue, pink, dark blue and yellow geometric shapes. At the bottom left is the Let’s Talk SciComm logo.

Wooohooooo 🥳🥳

What better way to celebrate our 99th episode than getting the whole team together to chat about our #scicomm highs and lows: when things went well, when they went badly & most importantly, what we learned along the way!

The text on this image says New Episode Out Now: Interview with speech pathologist Dr Georgie Johnson. There are two photos - on the left is a photo of Dr Georgie Johnson, with a young person on her left. Both are wearing life jackets and dropping water - behind them is a yellow canoe or kayak. And both are giving the thumbs up signal and smiling. The photo on the right is of the podcast co-hosts Michael Wheeler and Jen Martin. They are both smiling and have a blue sky with clouds and the ocean behind them. Michael is wearing a blue striped shirt and Jen is wearing a red jacket. The rest of the image is cream, dark green and pale blue and at the bottom left is the Let’s Talk SciComm logo.

We loved talking with @georgiejspeechpath.bsky.social, a clinical researcher whose PhD focused on childhood stuttering. She’s had lots of #scicomm experience talking about this important and sensitive topic with kids, their carers and the media.

It’s a good reminder that I need to allow more time when posting instead of always being in a rush!!
