Getting into the science writing world can be a challenge. In this workshop, Nora Bradford joined NSPN's Science Communication Committee to talk through resources and strategies for beginning to communicate science with the general public. We discussed the different modalities of science communication and how to decide which one might be the best fit. We also talked through tips for networking and finding opportunities. Finally, we briefly discussed how to craft your first pitch and catch the attention of editors.

Dr. Réka Szemerkényi, a Hungarian economist and political scientist. As a former Hungarian Ambassador to the United States, Amb. Dr. Szemerkényi brings a wealth of expertise in economics and politics. In her address, Amb. Dr. Szemerkényi shared insights into the personal qualities essential for her career in diplomacy, the intricacies of transitioning to green energy, and the critical role of science and scientists in this transition. She explored the challenges and opportunities of the green energy shift in the U.S., EU, and beyond, showcasing the intersection of science, policy, and diplomacy in addressing today’s energy challenges.

Scientists developing their careers in the policy sphere face a conundrum when it comes to interviewing. They undertake years of highly specific study, conduct long-term studies to produce new knowledge, and publish findings for an audience of peers. But a (job) interview in policy requires a different skill set – the ability to connect research to big picture issues, execute on-the-spot judgements, and orally tell their story to widely varied listeners. The hiring process favors those who can perform well in these areas, and thus access to training in this interviewing skill set is an equity issue.
Drawing from CCST staff experience in career development and training Science Policy Fellows transition academia to policy careers, this workshop offered guidance on the purpose and structure of the interview process, the differences in communication styles between academia and policy spheres, and a chance to apply this learning in a discussion of interviews scenarios and one-on-one prototyping.

The overarching goal of this interactive workshop is to educate aspiring and seasoned advocates interested in direct communication with their representatives about the unique benefits of advocacy through hill days. Dr. Kristin Anderson, a member of the Society for Neuroscience’s Government and Public Affairs committee, shared her expertise in communicating with representatives and provided participants with tips and tricks to maintain control of conversations and prevent derailment by potential pitfalls that may be encountered. Viewers will leave this workshop prepared to confidently enter meetings with staffers/elected officials and engage in conversations that can effect change.

As a scientist advances in their career as a communicator and/or researcher, it can often be expected that their work is translocal – but how does that happen? This event is webinar two of the NSPN Science Communication Committee's Science Diaspora Series (webinar one: youtu.be/IigjhuIMiFE) that storyboards dual scientists and communicators from Africa who deploy podcasts, scholarship, and research to advance robust media, health, and education systems. As a collaboration with the University of Ibadan, NSPN members hosted mid-career professionals from Nigeria whose careers have taken them across industry, academia, and media.

Generative AI, data-driven and interactive platforms, and social media are not only changing how scientific images, text, and multimedia are made and distributed but also changing what it means to be a creator and a consumer of science media. In this session at the 2024 National Science Policy Symposium, we explored new media in two parts: 1) through a multimedia showing and a Q&A on science filmmaking and 2) with a Birds of a Feather discussion on science media.

Discussions encompassed water quality challenges stemming from agricultural runoff and harmful algal blooms. Despite a lack of comprehensive health data, the session highlighted grassroots efforts, including community science and interdisciplinary photojournalism health studies, aimed at bridging this information gap and increasing awareness toward more structured public health studies to inform policy. Additionally, the session scrutinized state responses to remediation strategies in addressing the complex interplay between environmental pollution and health disparities.
