I’ve had a blast at my first @big-stem-network.bsky.social meeting at the RI. Learning from a host of amazing people who dedicate their life to sharing the joy of science and make it as accessible as possible. From games and demos, to science TV shows and animal displays. #sciencecomms #naturecomms

BIG poem 2025 #1
There's always something going on at BIG,
From finding your feet to finding freelance gigs.
If you lose your name badge THAT'S OKAY
Just get your audience thinking in mathematical ways.
And asking questions that are SUPERcool,

Leaving my 10th BIG Event as the incoming Chair of @big-stem-network.bsky.social
Not bad for someone who was told SciComm was probably ‘too competitive a career for someone like you’ 15 years ago.
Here’s to the next year of BIG!
