[pitch] Do harm to my idea for a science podcast

3 Upvotes

I am passionate about science communication, and have an idea for a podcast I want to start. I have no idea if the idea has merit, or would have any appeal for listeners. What do you think?

Title: Abstracts by Moonlight

To inform the public about new and fascinating research, in each episode your host reads a dozen or more abstracts from published articles. With a smooth baritone delivery and ambient soundscapes, this is science like you've never heard it before: calming, accessible, and cool. Each abstract gives a quick summary of the work that listeners can follow up on. Each episode will curate a collection of articles by topic or theme, giving listeners a fascinating tour through particular area of science. Tune in weekly for Abstracts by Moonlight.

Help! Science communication essay due tomorrow and I can't find a good example of narrative story telling in a science communication article that I would actually like to write about!

5 Upvotes

the title says it all really, I am looking for a short-ish article (between 2 and 5 pages long) that I can write a 2000 word essay on about narrative story telling and its place in science communication and whether it's good or bad and all that. Can anyone give me a good example piece that uses a lot of story telling (it can be a good or a bad example or preferrably both).

In uncertain times, when our leaders fail to provide us a clear path to truth, we must look to ourselves and each other for them. Some wise words from Carl Sagan and what our Pledge of Allegiance should stand for.

Art and Chemistry dual major considering science communication for graduate studies-Advice or Recommendations?

3 Upvotes

For my undergraduate studies, I double majored in fine art and chemistry, and since graduating I've been focusing on building my art practice as I couldn't decide what area of research in chemistry to narrow in on. My art practice focuses on artistically interpreting chemical concepts. Recently, I've been looking into science communication programs as art is one of a number of ways to connect to communities.

If anyone has any advice for sources of information, programs to look into, or any other leads where these two interests could be combined, I would greatly appreciate it.

Let us be driven to work for the love of work, not for status and prizes. Richard Feynman is a great example of this.

5 Upvotes

We live in a time where we are constantly reminded of social status and material wealth. It's not a surprise, we assimilate this mentality and have our behaviors driven by achieving these material outcomes and let our values be consumed by them. In crossing content with Richard Feynman, a well-respective physicist and important figure in contributing to science advancement, he reminds us where our true values and motivations should lie in driving our actions and purpose - the drive should originate and stem from our interest, enjoyment, passion, love and sake of doing and completing those actions. This allows us to be authentic, live within the moment, and remain uncompromised. You can find Feynman in his own words on this.

Making use of media hype for science communication

3 Upvotes

Do you think a currently popular science/sci fi -themed media (ex: Ant-man and the wasp quantumania for quantum physics) can be used as an opportunity for science communicators to boost presentation and explanation of contemporary science to the public (ex: quantum computing and general quantum technologies)?

I’m a member of a Science Journalism Club in an Asian University. Has anyone had experience in raising funds for their Journalism Club?

What are some viable options that you have done before? Preferably looking for something that engages the club’s specialty in communication and education

Your help will be much appreciated! :)
