Show Notes
“It’s the question I keep coming back to – how inclusion, neurodiversity, and different ways of seeing and being in the world are part of science and science communication…” – Emma Gill
Our Winter Shorts Series continues with Clare Boon sitting down with The SciComm Collective’s Emma Gill to chat about how far she’s come since recording her very first podcast - for an assignment at UWA. We share Emma’s episode on misophonia, a condition which triggers intense emotional or physical responses to certain sounds. Clare and Emma discuss how the episode was a chance to explore what mattered for Emma, and some lessons learned about editing and episode preparation over the years. Together they reflect on Emma’s path through science communication so far.
