In our Summer Shorts bonus season finale, The SciComm Collective’s Kate is joined by guest Dr Heather Bray, Coordinator of UWA’s Masters and Minor in Science Communication programs. Taking on the challenge she sets for students, Heather reflects on her performance at UWA’s Raising the Bar 2024, where she presented on the future of food science. Kate and Heather discuss the importance of purpose, audience and message in science communication, how to plan for a presentation (and how not to!), and why reflective practice is vital for all science communication practitioners.
