Careers in Science Communication

Since 1981, the Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST) has made great strides in promoting and empowering women in STEM.

With the normalization of digital media to communicate science and the risk of misinformation, it has become crucially important to discuss how we are sharing public information regarding health, education, and the environment.

In a step towards bringing awareness towards the career paths and innovations in the field, SCWIST has invited professionals from various STEM areas that use science communication to drive community engagement.

This session will connect women in science, academia, social media, and corporate spaces, to offer a diversity of perspectives on the use of science communication today.

During the session, participants will learn about opportunities how to harness the power of sci-comm and how to make it more understandable and accessible.
