Entrepreneurship is an exciting path for anyone looking to turn #SciComm into a career. But it’s not a path we hear a lot about! I’d like to start this week by telling you a little about my journey leaving academia to start a #SciCommBiz [1/7]
I didn’t plan on starting a business. But when I finished my PhD in 2016, I couldn’t find employment as a science communicator. I looked for jobs, postdocs – literally ANY paid position doing #SciComm. What I realize now is the job I was looking for didn’t yet exist. [2/7]
Like many SciCommers, my skillset falls within the cracks of conventional employment. I’m too much scientist to be a creative (e.g. filmmaker or photographer). I’m too much creative to be a scientist (e.g. researcher or technician). I wanted to be both. [3/7]
