Most science degrees never require students to learn how to communicate their work to the public. That gap fuels confusion, mistrust, and missed opportunities to protect lives. Let's change it. Sign the petition to make communication + public engagement training a degree requirement. bit.ly/3LbnfHB

Facts alone don’t change the world, but stories can. That's why I put together this starter pack of climate writers and journalists who know how to translate science into narratives that people can feel, understand, and act on.

We just finished her application package and it is now submitted. In our process, we found a handful of other programs that might also suit her! So, now we wait. Crossing my fingers for my mentee!!
My mentee in undergrad has a 3.9 GPA in biology and wants to do her PhD at Stanford in the microbiology department. She found her dream lab. Can my community help us? She's so talented and I really want this for her! She has accomplished so much against all odds. Please share.

Scientists should graduate ready to share what they know, effectively. Even the top science programs in our country do not require science communication and public engagement for their graduates. This is dangerous. Let's change the future. Sign the petition to make a difference: bit.ly/3LbnfHB

My university offers Communication in Science, but it isn't required for any of those departments. It's so important we try all the angles to change how we communicate about science.
When science is understandable, we all win. I've started a national petition calling on all institutions of higher education, and their accreditors, to require science communication and public engagement training for all STEM degrees.

My minimum goal is 100,000 signatures for my petition. I will be spamming, yapping, doing everything I can to get to that goal. We need to make it clear where we stand. c.org/xqYKGJhbs2 bsky.app/profile/rave...
