We teamed up with #SciComm pro Liz Neeley of Liminal Creations to help develop tools to:

πŸ’¬ Navigate those tricky conversations with nuance
🧐 Address #misinfo while respecting lived experiences
πŸ—ΊοΈ Make a personal plan for advancing #HealthEquity through #SciComm

Last year's workshop was super fun and well-received, so we're back again for more!

TFW you share a cool #breastmilk science factπŸ€±πŸ½πŸ”¬ on social media, and you get:

☝🏼 "But what about moms who CAN'T breastfeed?"
πŸ€” β€œThis 'data-driven' economist says #breastfeeding doesn’t matter.”
πŸ“± "I read that BFHI starves babies..."

Talking about breastfeeding and human milk science ain't easy! But the tools of #SciComm can help! Our #HMI26 workshop will teach you to share #lactation research with empathy AND accuracy.
