Just wrapped up our first panel with our amazing panelist on something often overlooked in science communication: empathy.
We explored how empathy shapes trust, accessibility, and meaningful dialogue what it looks like in practice, and why it matters now more than ever. 🧠💬🧡 #ComSciConCan2025

In this workshop, we are learning how important it is to think of a curriculum development that is inclusive and filled with opportunities to learn more about EDI/ put it into practice.

We have started our first workshop, EDI in Science Communication, with Dr. Kalai Saravanamuttu. We are having a meaningful and important discussion of what EDI means to us.
