Our Mission


Mission:
Science Talk is a non-profit organization that seeks to empower and inspire the science communication community to expand their communication potential and affect the world. We promote responsible practices in science communication, facilitate discussion and exchange of ideas, enable networking, and foster public engagement.

Vision:
Sharing science for broad impacts.

Audience:
We serve science communication practitioners, which we define as anyone who engages in science communication and outreach, and science communication facilitators, defined as professional communicators who train others, convene groups, and otherwise make up the professional science communication community.

Goals:
  • Establish the SCIENCE TALK conference as the go-to annual conference for science communication practitioner and facilitator communities nationwide.
  • Grow a welcoming and diverse national community of science communication practitioners and facilitators.
  • Enable dialog and resources to share best practices in science communication.
  • Empower communicators to reach audiences across multiple platforms and media.
  • Facilitate connections between scientists and communication professionals.
  • Develop professional development programs for science communication practitioners and facilitators.

Programming:
  • Annual Conference, held every spring
  • Mighty network community forum
  • Open-sourced science communication blog
  • On-demand and on-location workshops and webinars
  • Science communication podcast (coming soon!)
