When I was just 11 years old, I was already someone who loved sharing my passion for science. I vividly recall volunteering as a guide for trees on our school campus, teaching younger kids about them. However, my official entry into the world of science communication happened in 2015. It was then that some friends and I started a YouTube channel focused on Earth Science. This opened up exciting opportunities for me to engage in different types of outreach activities, like designing exhibitions for museums and Geoparks.

What I discovered during this journey was that I absolutely enjoyed the process of making science accessible to everyone.

I absolutely love the "Wow" moments. The excitement in people's eyes (and sometimes even screams) is what keeps me motivated to continue with my outreach work! Plus, it's amazing how kids often come up with cool ideas I hadn't thought of before, which makes it even more interesting and exciting.

It's always fantastic to see new faces entering the world of science communication! 

For the advice, I believe it's crucial to have a clear understanding of your target audience, your chosen communication methods, and your own strengths and weaknesses. When I initially started my work, I didn't have these aspects in mind, so the products I built didn't have the impact I hoped for. It's a learning process, and there will be plenty of trial and error.

Most importantly, never give up! Science communication isn't always easy, and I still face challenges all the time. However, there are numerous resources available to help with outreach, so don't hesitate to reach out when you need assistance.

Hmmmm… I don’t know. I think I would rather have coffee with my family or friends.
