Sharing Experiences

Each month the Western Australian branch of the Australian Science Communicators holds a professional development event called Sharing Experiences. We invite a guest speaker or panel of speakers to share their experiences and knowledge ????? their joys, sorrows, wins, losses and insider tips on science communication and related topics.

Sharing Experiences sessions are relaxed and informal, allowing a dialogue between audience and speaker. Drinks and nibbles follow each session, making it the perfect opportunity to get to know speakers and fellow attendees.

Topic and venue details are usually posted to the ASC email list about one week in advance. Entry is free to ASC members, and $5 per person for others attending. All are welcome.

Please email Nancy Longnecker if you have a question about Sharing Experiences sessions, or would like to suggest a speaker or topic.
