Charting Science Communication with Geoarchaeology

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Science communication can be a daunting task for researchers who seek public engagement, especially through multimedia formats. Building from your knowledge, experience, and research will make developing multimedia skills more approachable. Creatively including scientific principles to develop aspects like storytelling and in-media citations helps to legitimize your work and drives engagement. Recording equipment and software may be accessible through your organization, lowering initial costs and can be inexpensive for at home production. Open-source software is also available, sometimes for free or trial periods. With thoughtful planning, you can develop high-quality projects, and major science outlets host workshops year-round to help develop media and writing skills. Most major platforms provide engagement metrics and analytic tools, with exportable data, that provide insight into audience demographics. Ultimately, science communication can be a rewarding endeavor that drives awareness and engagement with your research and organization while also providing opportunities for networking and collaboration.
