Yesterday was our Scientists in Schools workshop! OSSCE members had the chance to learn from an expert how best to share their work with younger generations. Here’s what Anthony Limburg, our Member Lead Officer, had to say.
About us
OSSCE was founded in 2025 by Luisa Haiß. The aim? To make research accessible. That means making our research available to our peers, our government and the general public, but also making the skills needed to share our research accessible. We have found that, especially for STEM disciplines, there is very little education on how best to communicate our research, and it's difficult to get into science communication as a field. However, it's a vital skill for all scientists and researchers in general, especially with the rise of fake news, AI and widespread misinformation. The answer? OSSCE - a place where researchers at all career stages can pick up these vital skills while networking with their peers.
