My introduction to the world of science communication resulted from the frustration of not being able to translate my lab work into a language that my family and friends (outside the scientific community) could comprehend and understand!
But, as I continue to dive deeper into science communication, I realize that it is an umbrella term encompassing so many art forms!
Yes, indeed! I did say 'science' and 'art' in the same sentence, and mentioned them in association with each other!
A few examples that emphasize my point...
✨Science busking - An amazing way to inspire science in the society through science tricks performed in a manner that induce wonder in the audience.
✨Science illustration - What better way to generate interest for science than through the power of visualization!
✨Science journalism - So much similarity with science writing, yet so different! Science journalists practice the art of telling science stories with the aim to create scientific awareness in the society!
That's the beauty of science communication — it merges the faculties of science and arts!
