How to start as a science communicator with Dr. Sandeep Ravindran

What if the barrier to science communication isn't skill—it's just not knowing where to begin? Freelance science journalist Sandeep Ravindran hears this from graduate students all the time. They're interested, they care about outreach, but they're stuck at the starting line.

In this excerpt from The Conversations, Sandeep shares his journey from thinking science and writing were two separate career paths to discovering they could merge perfectly. He breaks down the broad spectrum of science communication—from volunteering at museums to influencing local policy—and makes a compelling case for why scientists can't afford to take public trust for granted.
