Building Brand You

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Science is everywhere. There is nothing around you that is not science.
Making science more inclusive and relevant helps people feel that it is part of their world, rather than something only for the intelligent or elite.
"Doing things that feel very difficult has created in me a whole new sense of resilience, self-acceptance, and the belief that I can accomplish challenging tasks. It doesn't matter whether I'm good at them or not; the fact that I can do them has been truly life-changing" - Jen Martin
Jen’s three life=changing reads:

ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Dr Jen Martin founded and leads the University of Melbourne’s acclaimed Science Communication Teaching Program. She spent many years working as a field ecologist, until she decided the most useful thing she could contribute as a scientist was to teach other scientists how to be effective and engaging communicators. Jen also practises what she preaches: she’s been talking about science weekly on radio for nearly 20 years, hosts podcasts (including @letstalkscicomm), MCs events, writes for a variety of publications and was named the 2019 Hero of Australian Science Communication. Jen’s first popular science book, ‘Why am I like this? The science behind your weirdest thoughts and habits’ was published this year.
