We are more than scicomm

Doesn’t “in it together” mean…scicomm groups? Isn’t that obvious?

Well…actually. Scicomm community is not the only community or type of relationship that helps us be good, beyond-beginner scicommers.

So, we talk this week about OTHER spaces and relationships that serve us as whole humans:

• Not everyone needs a big network to thrive. “You don’t have to have twenty best friends in public.”
• Scicomm isn’t the be-all, end-all.
• What we say no to gives us space to be people, not scicomm robots. (Find Bethann’s No-buddy blog post here: https://www.commnatural.com/post/get-yourself-a-no-buddy)

Then, we ask you to dig in for yourself: what’s a non-scicomm community or relationship that helps you feel like a full person?

Thanks for listening! We’re hoping for a community potluck 🥗🍛: Connect with us on social media (BlueSky, LinkedIn, Twitter, various Slack communities, etc.) or at www.meteorscicomm.org.

P.S. If you missed it, we’re going to try something new next season — guests!!! Deets here if you want to join. And, if anyone listening reading has funding to help us compensate guests, please let us know!
