Science Communication
Sharing the science I love
One of my passions is science communication. In addition to my occasional freelance work as a science writer, I have also engaged in service learning, a type of community service as part of the Forensic Anthropology Research Center at the University of Pretoria. I am proud to say that I have also never missed an open day at the University of Pretoria since 2009 (first as a student, then as an employee). I realise that writing, as a primary form of communication in science is important, and I've therefore also taken online courses to improve my science writing skills.
Learning to listen to the angry dead
In 2016, I was part of the Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education, my fellow PhD student, Rachel Holgate, designed part of a service learning training program in human osteology. The service learning was geared towards a group of Zimbabwean delegates, who were seeking the repatriation of remains from people killed during the Zimbabwean massacres in the 1970's.
