*I worked on International Space Station Research comms for eight years
** this was my second LPSC. I was a deer in headlights at my first one. Felt better this time, but am really excited for 2026 because it started to really *click* last week.

But I’m also still new to the planetary community* and new to LPSC** so I’m still taking things in and getting to know what people want most to get out of LPSC, what they end up actually getting, and how scicomm might be able to bridge that gap a bit.

As a science communicator, I thought about this a lot during LPSC. I was wondering how this community might benefit from workshops on science storytelling and graphic design. I’m curious about how much of the technical info is absorbed - or needs to be.
