HEARD AT THE PLANTING THE SEEDS OF SCIENCE COMMUNICATION WORKSHOP

We had a great turnout for the Planting the Seeds of Science Communication workshop. We asked those who attended what sci-comm advice they gained (or gave) at the workshop would be valuable and impactful to the broader botanical and scienti c community:

“Be your authentic and true self. All your plant (science, cat, etc.) love will shine through! It is ok to take social media breaks. Be mindful of what you are saying.” -Tanisha Williams, Bucknell University

“ e world will be a better place with more science communicators. e barrier to entry is low, and there are never too many.” -Jacob Suissa, Cornell University
