First - two big announcements:
- In Season 3, we’re digging into systems and what we think about as we consciously try to change them.
- We’re running another cohort of SciComm STEP next spring! Join our email list for a ping when the application goes live November 1st! 🥳
Today, we’re getting real: Doing big things, like trying to tackle systems-level change in scicomm, is a heavy lift.
This week, we discuss:
- The futility of trying to do this work alone
- Ways we can boost and build up people to be sure we are all able to do (and recognized for) this work we do together
- The role of being a hype buddy to yourself and within a team
- The data we see about scicomm folks who want to work together
- How we’re only selectively asking for permission anymore
Dig in for yourself:
- How are you consciously hyping yourself up in a team setting?
- How would you like others to be hyping you?
- What can you do to hype up the people you work with?
