Helen CzerskiProbably unpopular point of view: I hate the phrase “science communicator” & always have. We don’t have history or policy communicators - just historians and policy experts who can share their subject. Saying science needs a “communicator” just serves to isolate it as a weird hard thing that needs special magic powers to access. It implies that communication isn’t a normal part of science, but it is (or should be). Also, it undervalues teachers, who communicate science all the time. #science
Stephanie Reed ♠️@helenczerski It would help me out a lot if there *were* history and policy communicators, because history and policy are weird hard things that require magical powers to understand. Reading about history is like starting to watch a TV show at Season 7 and they never do a "previously on" but assume that everyone remembers every single character, event, and date that came before. In science, you can easily look up an "episode guide" for any topic and find explanations at different grade levels.
