Science Communication

In many ways, the general public makes it possible for us scientists to engage in our scholarship and push the frontiers of human knowledge. I believe it is our responsibility to make sure scientific information and progress are well communicated to the general public. People deserve to have access to updates on exciting scientific breakthroughs, as well as accurate information on issues that affect their everyday lives, such as health, the environment, technology, and more. In addition, I view science communication via social media as a means to reach people who otherwise would not be readily exposed to such information, and to spark in them an interest in science. Currently, I serve as Scientific Director of, as well as regularly write popular science articles in Hebrew for, the non-profit organization "Little, Big Science" (Hebrew: "מדע גדול, בקטנה"—big science in small bites), one of Israel's most popular science communication platforms. Throughout my PhD I worked as the Hebrew⇔English translator of the Weizmann Institute's popular science website, Davidson Online.
