Jen (00:00:10)
Hello everyone and welcome to Let’s Talk SciComm. I’m Jen and this is Let’s Talk SciComm but with a twist!
We are trying out a new style of episode where we pick one issue that you might be facing in your work, in your study, in your research, in the world of science communication, and we try and give you our best advice. Are you excited Michael?

Michael (00:00:32)
I am excited Jen. Because sometimes you just need a little bit of a quick pep talk or some quick friendly advice that we are going to plan to deliver to you in a very succinct 5 minutes.
So we’re going to be challenging ourselves to that. And I’m really excited because we’re going to be dealing with a different topic every week.
And we’d also love to hear your advice on these topics as well, so we’ll be looking out to engage with you on social media. So can’t wait to share these episodes with you.

And we’d love you to listen to Listen To This If…
