So proud 2 be part of @girlsingeosci. I created a film
for the conference abt my journey into #earthscience & how to effectively be an influencer & create science communication content. Watch the video here (16 mins): . Why is this important for inclusion?
When I was 16 I worked weekend/holidays to earn money. I did not have time/cash to intern/volunteer. If u r in same position, create a digital self, curate your own content & engage digitally with scientists/museums/sci orgs to link & promote yourself. #inclusion
Our exp as BAME Geoscientists r different. We face unseen barriers, cultural assumptions, perhaps family prejudice. Accessing/creating content 4 SM means you can take power & harness your passion, knowledge and link to orgs that you may feel isolated from. They will welcome you!
Biggest platforms to create content right now are Instagram & TikTok. Come up with ideas, be creative abt your Geoscience storytelling, know your audience, HAVE FUN! You've got this girls! @girlsingeosci @geolsoc @iCRAGcentre @uniplymouth #VirtualGiG
