Description

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!
