It was a privilege for UC Berkeley CLEAR to host Niba Nirmal (@NotesByNiba) for the #UCSciCommSeries. Niba is a Multimedia Producer and Digital Strategist at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBL). She received a bachelor’s in Genetics and Genomics from UC Davis, completed a master’s in Genetics at Duke University and earned a Science Communication Certificate from Northwestern University.
Our second speaker in our #UCSciCommSeries focused on Dr. Brittany Anderton, the Associate Director of Research Talks at iBiology. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the work of iBiology, their content consists of educational videos for all sorts of crowds. Some of their videos contain content for students trying to learn more about a particular topic, and some are about special-interest topics from high-profile researchers.
For the final installment of the #UCSciCommSeries, we've invited Teresa Ortner to speak about writing and editing for scientific journals. She is the Senior Editor at Nature Communications Chemistry.
To continue our #UCSciCommSeries with UC Berkeley's CLEAR and SciComm at UCR, we've invited Megan Varvais to discuss science policy and science communication for non-scientists.
In the second-to-last installment of the #UCSciCommSeries, we've invited Colin Murphy to discuss science policy and sustainability. He is the Deputy Director of the Policy Institute for Energy, Environment, and the Economy at UC Davis.
For the next installment of the #UCSciCommSeries, we've invited Brittany Anderton to speak about content creation and STEM education. She is the Associate Director of Research Talks at iBiology.
We are launching a #UCSciCommSeries with UC Berkeley's CLEAR and UC Riverside's SciComm@UCR! Becky Mackelprang is our first speaker on January 18th. She is the Associate Director for Security Programs at the Engineering Biology Research Consortium. Becky received her Ph.D.
