Episode 32: "The Trajectory of Knowledge"

This episode is important groundwork for understanding some of
the nuance of broadening participation. This interview is with
experts like Jaime Bell, Cecilia Garabay, Christine Reich, and
Dale McCreedy, and together we dive into the issue. I taped these
interviews after a two-day convening of the task force in
Washington DC. Every step of this experience has been an honor
and a priviledge to be a part of, and I'm really grateful for the
chance to contribute and, of course, learn a lot myself. If
you're interested in learning more about the task force and it's
work, I encourage you to check us out from the Center for
Advancement of Informal Science website - I'll drop a link in the
notes.


This is the first of 2 parts. If you leave this conversation
thinking, what on earth is Science Communication, have I got a
treat. In the next episode I'll share a short chat I had with
Sunshine Menezes and we tackle that topic and its relationship to
all of this.


Enjoy this first conversation from the 2018 convening of the
Center for Advancement of Informal Science Learning's Task Force
on BP through informal STEM learning:
