Science Communication Portfolio

At UC Irvine, I created all of the social media content between September 2019 – August 2021. This enabled me to work on my science communication skills and share the scientific work and achievements of other students around the campus. Every time a post was shared on one social media platform, they were shared on all of the other platforms (except for youtube).

Take a read of some of the stories I was able to share:

• PhD student Karen Arcos’ research connects with marginalized communities.

• Cognitive Sciences PhD student Alex Bower ties his experience in acting and improv to teaching psychology and pedagogical practice.⁣⁣

• Graduate Division Counselor, Elizabeth Dunn, on empowering students in times of transition and beyond.

Here were ways I was able to boost engagement:

• At the start of the school year. And of course announcing the winners!

• By promoting wellness pre-pandemic,

and during the pandemic as well, here and here!
