S3.E4: Science (Mis) Communication

Have you ever had a big miss when it comes to science communication? I’m pretty sure we all have and the recent pandemic has given us some striking examples. Join us and Panagiota Pimenidou as we discuss what happens when we miss the mark with science communication and specific strategies that can have you hitting a homerun every time because now more than ever effective scientific communication is a must. Panagiota Pimenidou is a chemical engineer with 15 years of experience in international academia, including two tenured positions as an assistant professor in hydrogen safety and chemical engineering in the UK. She is an advocate of communicating scientific innovation directly from the creators, and mentoring doctorates to affect innovation meaningfully and positively influence society. She is the founder and hostess of the Global Greek Influence podcast, the creator of the LeanIn circle “Women in STEM research”, and ambassador for Greece of STEPs for Europe.
