Science Communicators transform complex scientific findings into clear, accessible stories that reach a variety of audiences including aid organizations, policymakers, and affected communities. Working in journalism, public outreach, academia, and social media, they often collaborate with researchers, humanitarian organizations, and emergency responders.
