Help us in our #scicomm efforts! #Repost @paleoparadox • • • • • Hello my fellow SVP SciCommers and educators! At this year’s SVP in New Mexico, Sara ElShafie, Ashley Hall (@lady_naturalist ), and myself will be organizing a fun workshop about telling science stories through multimedia! . We want to keep the registration for this workshop as low as possible, so we’ve started a small GoFundMe to help cover the costs of the workshop. Please help us out if you can! Check out the link in my profile! . More on the workshop: Storytelling is the most universal form of communication. In the digital age, storytelling through film and social media is crucial for reaching broad audiences. But these skills are typically overlooked or not sufficiently developed in science communication workshops. We have therefore put together an intensive workshop that will give participants fundamental skills for developing engaging science stories, and for sharing those stories on social media using DIY videography. . The morning session will offer an overview of story development, including visual storytelling. Participants will work in small groups throughout the morning to brainstorm and outline a story about a particular topic in paleontology. In the afternoon session, participants will learn essentials of videography, and work with their groups to produce short videos about the science stories they developed that morning. We will also discuss effective use of different social media platforms for science outreach. At the end of the workshop, we will publish the participants’ short videos online through the SVP Education & Outreach Facebook group. . . . #scicomm #science #paleontology #education #SvP2018 #2018svp #thescicommunity #wearescience

First morning of #svp2018 and I'm loving it! It's amazing to see so many people with a common interest come together and listen to talks, spent the morning at the dinosaur talks but I still have a lot more to explore 🤓 (at Albuquerque Convention Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpCktRqFeeU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q1n9o4xm7i66
