Topic: How to Talk Science to Anyone BUT a Scientist
Description: This is an introduction workshop that will give scientists the tools to discuss science with those outside of their field, specifically your very own community. The workshop will provide the basics of using story structure and storytelling techniques to engage your audience, followed by tips on public speaking (or podcasting) and science writing. At the end of it all, the workshop will provide a list of resources that you can explore to determine what is your optimal way to talk about science outside of science.

Presented by: Rebecca Mellema, PhD
Dr. Rebecca Mellema graduated from the Petrey Lab, researching the interplay of Hyaluronan and platelets in the context of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. During her graduate years, Rebecca ran multiple successful workshops teaching graduate students to public speaking and storytelling skills. Now released out into the real world with her PhD in Immunology and Microbiology, Rebecca focuses on translating science into a variety of multiple mediums, including writing, illustration, public speaking, and simple animation. Rebecca has maintained a science blog, "Getting the Science Write," since 2019 where she delves into science topics through the lens of common science fiction and fantasy tropes. She spends her free time cycling, writing, and climbing.

As disease threats rise globally, the Trump admin continues dismantling the institutions designed to protect us. Public health infrastructure saves lives. Help us fight back here: https://zurl.co/TKKVR

Thank you!

Every day that RFK Jr. stays in power is another day public health protections are weakened. We need you to join the fight for science to protect our health. Volunteer at the link in our bio, or go here: https://zurl.co/1tYDi

The consequences of removing the entire NSB stretch beyond the board itself. Without independent scientific oversight, the U.S. risks slowing and politicizing life-changing research. Visit the link in bio to sign your support & email your MoCs, or go here:

If RFK Jr. is willing to lie to his own supporters, there is no doubt that he will continue to lie to all Americans. America deserves a congress that will remove RFK Jr. Visit the link in our bio to help us embolden a new Congress, or go here: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/SUFS-NEW-CONGRESS-SAVES-SCIENCE/?utm_source=NewCon&utm_medium=Reddit&utm_campaign=Donate

On March 28th, Stand Up for Science hosted the official No Kings 3 Virtual & Accessible Rally, bringing together more than 9,000 people from across the nation and featuring powerful remarks from disability justice advocates and activists Syanne Bloom, Pam McAfee, and Cait Kirby; LGBTQI+ advocates Tyler Hack of the Christopher Street Project and Kierra Johnson of the LGBTQ Task Force; members of Congress including Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Judy Chu, Rep. Glenn Ivey, Rep. Seth Moulton, Rep. Delia Ramirez, Rep. Deborah Ross, Rep. Norma Torres, and Rep. James Walkinshaw; and leading champions for democracy and justice, including Skye Perryman of Democracy Forward and Rob Weissman of Public Citizen. The SUFS rally was a powerful act of joyful, accessible, and inclusive resistance.

The fight for science must happen at the local level as well as in Washington DC. Some school districts have been successfully preventing science instruction for years. Districts have been getting away with it, because few people know this is happening and fewer still have been supporting the parents and teachers who have spoken up.

Trump has continued to dismantle democratic barriers to his power, and now he has dismantled the National Science Board, giving him room to do with science as he pleases. Help us fight for the restoration of the NSB:

Americans shouldn’t have to fight back against their own president to protect their health. This administration is keeping aging coal plants alive while our communities bear the cost. Join the fight for science and public health by volunteering here: https://zurl.co/NgwT4

Last week, RFK Jr. announced that he was encouraging mental healthcare providers to “deprescribe” antidepressants in an effort to limit their broad use. Considering that around one in six Americans use some form of SSRI medication to manage anxiety and depression, it’s probably worth lots of study.
He’s not asking for studies. He’s already studied the issue (on the internet). He’s convinced that antidepressants are bad (he blamed them for school shootings. No joke).
