CivicSciTV-Radio is part of Civic Science Media Lab which is an investigative newsroom that covers the civic nature of science to make it more accessible, informative, and actionable for scientists, practitioners and local community leaders. We conduct investigative civic science journalism to interrogate and unravel ongoing progress, & shed light on important issues across the field. Our journalistic endeavor allows us to pose probing questions to various stakeholders to elicit actionable insights on TV, digital print and radio.
Molecular biologist turned full-time science communicator Zakiya Whatley joins Kacie from Atlanta to discuss how effective science communication begins with understanding your audience. As the host of multiple podcasts including Dope Labs and Breakthrough, Atlanta's Zakiya shares her ”audience first” approach to making complex scientific concepts accessible without sacrificing accuracy. She discusses how delivery is often more important than the information itself, the challenges of our current information ecosystem where facts become group identity signals, and her expanding work in written media and film. Zakiya offers practical advice for scientists looking to better communicate their work, emphasizing the importance of leading with your core message and limiting supporting points to what audiences can realistically absorb.
