Description
We all know science is fascinating, but sometimes the way it's communicated is... less than captivating.
That’s why I’m really excited to chat with Laura Wells. Laura Wells is a science communicator, presenter, environmental advocate, model, and social media professional from Sydney. Over the past 14 years, since graduating with degrees in Biology and Law, she has amassed a wealth of experience in the science media
space. Laura has become a regular and trusted presenter for national and international programs, campaigns, and events. She has presented science content for National Geographic, hosted a children's science TV show on Channel 7 in Australia, and is currently filming a sustainability series called Planet Shapers, among other projects.
In this episode, she shares:
Key Quotes
“If I continued to worry about the size of my thighs in a pair of shorts, I wouldn’t have spent hours and hours on a beach picking up plastic all around the world.”
“Once you're on that journey, you want to keep getting better.”
"Science communication is taking the science that other scientists are doing and communicating it in a way that is palatable for the normal, everyday human."
