This week I'm moonlighting as a trainer at
@thecscce.bsky.social. Lou and I are teaching a new 6-week online course all about creating community-engaged content and communications. V grateful for the opportunity to share some of what I've learned over the last decade+ in STEM comms.
This is the pilot offering of this course, led by our Director Lou Woodley and Comms Director @katiephd.bsky.social, which takes a look at community-engaged content and how it supports community member engagement in various different ways.
