Do opportunities & spaces to "PLAY" with your craft/skills in communicating #science even exist for you?
For academics, the lack of opportunity to learn+practice+play w/ public speaking significantly impacts careers, like favoritism of "charismatic ppl" to bad teaching habits.

In the #Arts + #SciArt, rehearsals + practice time is crucial in honing your craft.
In #MuseumEd & #projectdevelopment, there are stages for prototyping, focus grouping, beta-testing to "play".
In #Academia, prof dev workshops exist, but do you have a space for practice?

Why "PLAY" to achieve a strategic #scicomm #science practice?
Our lives as academics/practitioners are constantly filled with high-stakes interactions. An unending list of MUSTs, CAN'Ts, SHOULDs. Pressure to be "perfect" w/o a supportive space to fail feeds #ImpostorSyndrome...

I also think that the lack of supportive spaces to fail & play w/ #SciComm also impacts the misconception of "naturally charismatic" speakers (typically cis-male), inequity in #STEM (just watch @chrisemdin talk about #ratchetdemics), and maintaining a status quo of exclusivity. 
More importantly, #SciComm "PLAY" matters to me because:
- we all have work/task/personal priorities that come 1st
- but we will also ALWAYS make room for what we personally find fun
Never underestimate the power of being seen worthy of someone else's expendable time & income.

It’s #SciComm CASE STUDY time! Let’s celebrate each others’ efforts & learnings.
🙋🏽♀️Pls share a specific moment/project where you used PLAY for #science #scicomm
