Re-upping this post for pride month because @ceriley and I are both queer and so are big ants giving little ants piggy-back rides🌈🚍

[Maddie Sofia @maddie_sofia]

I have loved @SciShowTangents for years. Beyond jazzed to be on the season five premiere!!

The only thing better than being a guest was beating host @ceriley. If you're gonna meet your heroes, beat 'em at a fact-off.

Lastly, if I've ever taught you anything (from one of these workshops, my time at NPR, or around a campfire), I would appreciate a RT on this! TY in advance.

If you're interested in bringing me in, DM me here or go through this form on my website: https://t.co/zPDOUFzmCH

I spent my spring teaching inclusive & strategic science communication to scientists across the country. It was a BLAST. If your organization, university, or conference is looking for scicomm-focused speakers, lmk. I'm booking my fall schedule now!

... in what way

[Maddie Sofia @maddie_sofia]

@astro_jaz Amazing! I've never been to Purdue. Feel free to message me here or through my website and I'll send you more info.

[Maddie Sofia @maddie_sofia]

Hey y'all! I am excited to announce that I am offering workshops for scientists interested in improving their communication skills. These workshops are developed in collaboration with #scicomm researchers and experts to ensure they are evidence-based and practical.

@HopeJahren NPR was next level because sometimes I would hear my own voice asking me for money

[Maddie Sofia @maddie_sofia]

@isabellaclsci @RogersLabUCD fixed it!

[Maddie Sofia @maddie_sofia]

@bedubble Oooh, I love the first idea, but right now, it's targeted to individual clients!

[Maddie Sofia @maddie_sofia]

I did not recognize the NEXT LEVEL NONSENSE this platform has reached. DM's now open to all, not just the verified.

[Maddie Sofia @maddie_sofia]

The best way to contact me is via DM or through my website!

If you have heard me speak or have taken one of my workshops and enjoyed it, I’d appreciate it if you retweeted this! Thanks y'all!

[Maddie Sofia @maddie_sofia]

Big thanks to all the universities/student groups/conferences that brought me in to speak in 2023. If you're interested in bringing me in to talk about science communication, journalism, or scientific careers outside academia, I'm booking my schedule for 2024 now!

Attention overworked journalists and understaffed media orgs! If you're looking for a part-time or freelance science editor, let me know! I've edited or written for places like NPR, Science Friday, and PBS/KQED. More about me here👇🏼 https://t.co/bHrdqksNPW

[Maddie Sofia @maddie_sofia]

My goals as an editor are to help you achieve inclusive framing, scientific accuracy, and compelling narrative. Politically, I'm anti-puns in headlines and pro-science poop jokes. Almost all of my experience is in video and podcasting, but I'm open to other mediums too! DM me!

Most recently, I got to help shape this pretty thorny episode of Radiolab. I love working at the intersection of science and LGBTQIA policy and perception. Get yourself an editor who is both a molecular biologist and queer as hell.
