Science communication is many things. ‘Fun’s is often not one of them. But injecting a sense of levity and even humour into our science communication could help us reach new audiences on different levels of engagement.
But how do balance respect and light-heartedness? Which other sectors have forged a path we can follow? And are there no-go areas?
Join Sumeep Bath at 12:00 p.m. (EST) on Wednesday May 22, 2024, to discuss all these questions and more…!

Sumeep is a seasoned, skilled—and somewhat sardonic—communications professional from London, UK—now based in Winnipeg, Canada. He has been working for over 15 years in the communications field, including for the Embassy of Argentina in London, and for the Press and Public Diplomacy Section of the Delegation of the European Union to the USA in Washington, D.C.
For the last ten years, he has built an identity for IISD Experimental Lakes Area to bring a human face, accessibility (and a sense of humour!) to what has become a relatively unique science communication brand in Canada.
He manages all media outreach, social media, and communications products for that facility to ensure that the world knows all about how IISD-ELA does freshwater science like nowhere else, why it should matter to you, and how we can translate that science into policy that matters.
