To keep things a bit more organized (hopefully more organized), I split the information for class on Monday into two posts. The first one provided links to stories suggested by Ryder, a graduate student and science communicator. This post will introduce our second guest, Aubrey White.
Aubrey has a lot of experience with communicating science, and has worked in a variety of formats, including blogs, documentaries, and radio. Definitely check out her blog, and the radio segments provided by her below:
“Brainhilda and I” -A great audio documentary by produce David Golann describes a woman’s neurological disorder in her own words. The piece is a solid example of when audio is the best format to use in communication. (under 6 minutes)
“From the Ground Up: The New Suburbs”
This is episode four of a six-part series I produced while living and working on a start up organic farm. One part family documentary, one part sustainable ag education. (8 mins)
The actual segments can be found on the SmartSite. Give them a listen before class on Monday and start to think about science communication outside the blog.
