Assignment: Science/Environment Communicator Example
Your task is to find and share an example of a science or environmental communicator in action. This could be a video, podcast episode, article, social media post, or even a profile or biography of the communicator. Your example should show how they engage the public with science or environmental topics.
You may define "communicator" broadly—this could be a scientist giving a TED Talk, an activist on TikTok, a journalist writing about climate change, or a YouTuber explaining ocean pollution—as long as you can clearly explain why you think it fits.
Instructions:
- Find and provide a link to your chosen example.
- Write a short post (approx. 200 words) that includes:
- (a) Any background or context needed to understand the example
- (b) Why you selected it
- (c) Who the target audience is
- (d) Whether you think it is an effective or ineffective example of science/environment communication, and any suggestions for improvement
Examples:
- Greta Thunberg speaking at the UN Climate Summit
- An article from National Geographic about coral bleaching
- A podcast episode from Ologies by Alie Ward
Requirements:
- Length: Approximately 200 words
- Be sure to proofread—grammar and spelling count!
