I'm a Science Communicator...

The first time I meet someone, and tell them I am a science communicator or that I have an MSc in Science and Health Communication, the usual first question I get is 'What's that?'. I think the best way to explain science communication is through examples, so here are some of the projects that I have produced or been part of, and what I've gained from these experiences.

My Projects

Learning to Fail Together - My PhD

My PhD, jointly based at Northumbria University and Life Science Centre, combines the themes of social justice, family education and building resilience through the medium of making activities.

Planetary Health Alliance Meeting 2024

At PHAM2024, I joined my PI, and a huge community of professionals, advocates and activists to discuss how we should turn research into action.

PHI's Ethnicity, Health Equity and AI Project

My first big project for PHI, my lab at the University of Oxford, was organising the communications campaign for their 'Ethnicity, Health Equity and AI' Project

Social Justice in Science Education - My Dissertation

For my MSc research project, I studies how science educators in various roles centre social justice in their work, using the concept of 'Science Capital'.

Science Learning Trail in Whitworth Park

My mentored project, part of my MSc course, involved me designing a scan-able trail of learning activities in a local park.

Pint of Science

As part of the Pint of Science festival, I helped to coordinate and host the 'Creative Reactions' events in Manchester.

That's Science

That's Science is my podcast with Susan O'Flynn, where we explore what makes science the subject we know today.
