Isabel RichardsI’m preparing a talk on women who shaped Western #ScienceCommunication and just listened to this fabulous #podcast episode all about #JaneMarcet (who I’m using as one of my case studies 👩🔬). Marcet was keen on making complex ideas accessible for everyone (including ‘the ladies’!), all starting with her “Conversations on Chemistry” #science novel. This pod is very much worth a listen 🤩 https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-citizen-scientist-jane-marcet/id1320638747?i=1000496073420
My new paper is out, and it’s #OpenAccess !🥳🎉🙌
This one’s a revamped #essay I wrote as part of my #scicomm major and explores the important, though overlooked, role of women in early Western #ScienceCommunication and #SciencePopularisation. 🌱📚👩🔬
I use #PriscillaWakefield as a case study, but she is one of many incredible science communicators of her time ! (see eg #JaneMarcet, #MariaEdgeworth ✨)
