Science in Public helps researchers and founders communicate for engagement and impact
We’re Science in Public
For over 20 years we’ve been helping researchers find their story, shape it and then share it with the audiences that matter to you: the public, media, government, industry.
We helped announce how CSIRO made Wi-Fi faster, the discovery of the Higgs boson, the loss of coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef, ‘Dishbrain’, and hundreds of other impactful stories. Our team includes science writers, science communicators, science publicists, science videographers.
We help scientists and researchers turn complex research into real-world impact, while staying true to the science.
We support research labs, companies and associations with an end-to-end science communication service.
