"One of my goals is to change goals" - well said

The first communication question science communicators need to ask - What do WE want a specific group of people to consider doing (in context of science)?

For Scientists: 1. Choosing different research questions/methods, communication approaches 2. Willingness to work with specific audiences

1. Specific behavior - [Consider] Donating, Voting, Buying, Career Choice, Citing, Share experience 2. Behavioral Trust - Willingness to be vulnerable (Consider scientific advice, Accept uncertainty/risk)

Sharing knowledge without bias and being transparent helps you build trust with your audience.

Whenever you discuss your project or work with others, whether formally or informally, make sure to write it down. - Rishi Masalia

🚀 We're kicking off our first panel of #ComSciConMI2024 with a lineup of experts! 🎉 The topic is MythBusters: Truths of Science Communication!
