@SciCommClub@annieislaurie Simplicity (even simpler than you're thinking!) The message needs to be super clear and easy to understand and implement even if there's a lot of complexity behind it. #scicommchat#scicomm
This kind of client feedback is what keeps me going! My passion is helping researchers and orgs effectively #communicate their findings and ideas through visually appealing and accurate #graphics. Thrilled to hear that my work made an impact. #testimonial

Since April, I've had the pleasure of working with scientists who want to grow crops in space, understand how the atmosphere interacts with the Earth's surface, how the Earth's surface is formed, how human activity changes monsoons, & more! It's an exciting time to be in science!
@MichelleEliass1 Remember that none of this defines you. It's only 1 part of your life. The other parts deserve your time & energy just as much or more. Be proud of yourself, recognize your accomplishments, let go of the pressure that you have to be perfect. You're doing great โค
@trans_icon_mika @theAGU@saroraaustralis@KateSemmens1@nerdondo Thanks for organizing, this morning's Pod meet-up was fantastic. Great to connect with others who share this passion!
2. Tell your audience WHY, HOW, and WHAT. Why is your work important? How did you do it? What are the main takeaways? And don't leave those answers for your audience to interpret. Answer them clearly at least once.
The text you use should mirror the important phrases you speak. Repetition in different forms - spoken, written, and visual - helps your audience remember and understand.
3. Let's face it. Your reader is tired. They have revisions due, 2 proposals in the works, lab equipment coming in Tuesday, meetings with students, wound up on another committee, and their computer is doing that thing again.
Draw them a picture. We remember in pictures anyway.
2. Your reader needs to easily come away with:
- WHY this is important
- HOW you did the study
- WHAT are the main takeaways
The answers to these questions should appear in your abstract, intro, and conclusions. Don't make your reader guess the answers.
