From your research to your science communication, PhDSciCom on LinkedIn & Instagram, Dr. Frederike Zeibig & Maike Stelter

Welcome back PostdocTransformer,

Science communication – how hard can it be (if you managed thinking, conducting, analyzing, writing and even publishing your research and are a comfortable teaching your own bachelor and master students)? Well, it’s not that simple, LOL.?

That's why I am teaming up with PhDSciCom , they are a group of German PhD students helping other scientists to craft edutaining science communication!

So maybe YOU are still in the trenches of your PhD, or at the beginning.

Listen to Dr. Frederike Zeibig and Maike Stelter , as they highlight the benefits of process communication being supported by their interdisciplinary team.?They also showcase various formats, like scientists of the week, scientific communication activity of the week. And also importantly, their campaign explaining good scientific practice.

All of them their mentioned examples are linked in our show notes.

We are also very excited to continue with our podcasting software partners, as their AI-features help me as a working mom to be productive and professional. In every season we tried out new processes and by season 4 we found our dream stack. If you want to learn more about podcasting for your business, you will find our new ads very helpful.

We just reached 7 k with our previous 50 episodes, half of them are interviews with leaders in science and mostly business, and we want to thank you for listening. I am building my own legacy as a professor by bringing diverse role models to your table, so you can be inspired as you deserve.

Please feel invited to suggest your role models with or without a doctor title who can inspire the underrepresented, underprivileged and underserved scientists leaping into business and my bachelor and master students in real life.

Subscribe to our seasonal show on your favorite podcast platforms: Why? Postdoc scientists & PhD students / candidates will learn the basics for their career transition from research into business & industries AND will get to know a company that hires early career scientists!

Some highlights of this episode:

....

Dr. Frederike Zeibig:

PhDSciCom is not too old yet. It's like nearly two years. And, we were some scientists meeting on a summer school for science communication. And so we were all very keen for doing science communication, but nobody did it. And then we went to a workshop on methods and techniques, how to do science communication.

??

[00:06:23] after that workshop, we were supposed to work on our own science communication projects. But then in the end, we felt, why should we now work on our own science communication projects, when we all have the same obstacles, actually which means when we would go back to studying, or going back to working in the lab, we would all have the same problems, like time, and do we actually want to expose ourselves out there, and who's going to support us. Therefore we then felt, okay, maybe it's better to do like an initiative for enabling young scientists to do some science communication by providing them with the resources they need and also by providing them with the platform. And therefore we choose Instagram to actually reveal what people are doing out there in science because there are very interesting projects.

...

[00:09:36] Frederike Zeibig PhDSciCom :

Yeah, I think the core actually is that, Scientist of the Week that you can be with us. So, this format is actually made for representing your science and representing your, motivation to do science communication. We also started the scientific Communication Activity of the Week, which will give you some methods and technologies and techniques on how to do science communication, and where you can actually do it. and we are getting more grown up in the scientific community.We are starting to interact with other leaders and share resources on podcasts?

....

[00:14:38] Frederike Zeibig @PhDScicom: I think actually it's a very common idea among scientists that science communication is, results oriented, that you should just present your results, and we at PhDSciCom, we established the idea of process communication, because most of the scientists are scared that someone is going to steal their results, right, which I feel is completely fine, but this keeps people away from doing science communication. But actually to, gain more interest in science and also more understanding for, people who are not related or who are not working in your field, you can do process communication. Because for me, it's very interesting to see what are you actually doing in the lab? How do you get your results? And also maybe for people who work in social science or in history, like, where are your resources? Like, how do you get them? Do you have to travel somewhere? Maybe show me something about your travels? And this is also something that every scientist can do especially PhD students feel that they, just saying oh, I just started. I don't have anything to talk about. And that's not true. Because you can talk, you can tell me something about your, your work. your discipline, you can tell me something about ... (do us a favor and listen to our full interview, thank you).

Maike Stelter :

[00:50:18] Currently we'll find, the SciCom activity of the week on our channel. So this is, info posting where we try to look at many different ways of communicating science and introduce some tools and activities. So this can be science slams, science cafes, but also how to do a short movie, use a meme in your science communication or humor.

??

[00:50:37] These are tools you can try if you want to start some science communication. And we also had a quite nice line the last year, so specific program line on good scientific practice. I would like to feature that as well because it is really important for all scientists. As a PhD student, it's not that common to talk about good scientific practice on a daily basis.

??

[00:50:58] There are still some questions for PhDs. How can I deal with my data? How can I transform my science into science communication and do that in a good, ScientificWay. So we also highlighted this and it was quite nice line that you can find on our profile still. Please take a view on this. And we really had some great feedback on that.

Read or listen to the full transcript, you will really thank me later, LOL!
