Science communication is a huge part of my career path. As scientist we have the responsibility to share our knowledge, to create awareness and to engage broader audiences with our own research. PhD programs have a strong orientation towards publishing pre-reviewed papers, but less on how to communicate our findings to the in an engaging way with no jargon.
I make sure not only to produce peer-reviewed manuscripts, but also to create products base on those publications that are approachable. I have outreach projects for STEM topics in all levels (from elementary school to college), in different countries (USA and Mexico) and in different languages (English and Spanish).
