In this episode, the host explores the importance of in-person conversations and two-way communication in the world of content creation. The guest, Paola Espitia, shares her experience in science communication and building a career in interacting with people on cruise lines. The conversation sparks a desire in Andrew to find ways to engage with listeners in person and have more interactive discussions. Tune in to discover the value of face-to-face interactions in building relationships and gaining immediate feedback.

Paola Espitia of @olapicreative is making media that moves. After almost two decades of coral research, Paola realized she could make a bigger impact on the ocean by using her voice, so she became a Speaker at Sea aboard world-class cruise lines including Lindblad Expeditions’ National Geographic fleet. To further advance ocean conservation initiatives, Paola co-founded the media agency, Ola’pi Creative with her husband. During this Ocean Decade, Ola’pi Creative is committed to helping 1,000 emergent ocean leaders with messaging, media production, and marketing to create a ripple effect that inspires action for the ocean we want.

The Importance of Branding in Science Communication
Branding plays a crucial role in science communication as it helps creators convey their mission, vision, and the reasons behind their content creation. A well-defined brand facilitates the connection between the audience and the creator, enabling the delivery of meaningful and impactful messages. It's essential to understand the marketing and branding side of science communication while creating content on various platforms, such as TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, to improve engagement and reach. I discuss my initial fear of the term branding. However, I realized that I already had a brand, and that brand is how I communicate my vision through content creation. I acknowledge the recent growth in science communication and stress the importance of finding a balance between content creation and branding to build a stronger community and maintain audience engagement.

How to Incorporate Branding in Your Content
Incorporating branding into your content involves being strategic with your marketing and communication efforts. Ensure that every piece of content represents your mission, vision, and core values while consistently providing valuable information to the audience. It's vital to consider audience feedback, adapt content as needed, and be authentic while creating and delivering brand messages. I talk about the importance of reinforcing your brand's message and reminding yourself of why you create content. I challenge myself by questioning if my podcast will benefit the audience and provide value. By staying aligned with my branding strategy, I deliver meaningful content while keeping the essence of my brand intact. Ultimately, branding helps to maintain the creator's focus on delivering quality content that aligns with their vision.

I did a search on the web for any type of content with a topic surrounding communication for ocean conservation and I found videos, papers, and blog posts on how scientists think science communication needs to be conducted using scientific facts. But is that what audiences want to hear? Are they interested in learning about the facts? I propose that we have to find new ways to talk about the ocean that is fun and provides real ways to change the ocean.

There are often times that I look at the news and hear the disasters that are happening all over the world and in my own backyard, I get overwhelmed and doubt whether we are going to be able to protect the oceans and ourselves from Climate Change. But I take comfort in the fact that there are people all over the world who are working together to protect their piece of ocean/planet. Therefore, in this episode, I will discuss how I think that we can build resilience locally to help globally.

I recently had the opportunity to interview wildlife science communicator, Forrest Galante, for my other podcast I cohost called Beyond Jaws and during the interview Forrest taught me a lot about being a science communicator through his own journey. Therefore, I am going to share some interesting tips that I picked up from Forrest that I will use as a science communicator and that you could use in your own journey.
  1. Share your passion
  2. Be persistent
  3. Do good
  4. Haters going to hate and there is nothing you could do about it

Last episode (Episode 1223), I spoke to Virginia Schutte and Bethann Merkel about their approach to Science Communication that they discuss on their new podcast called Meteor. 

During the interview, I talked about how I just launched Speak Up For The Ocean Blue with minimal planning because I just wanted to start doing the "fun part" of my SciComm. I now realize that I would do things differently if I were to start over today.

I talk about 8 steps I would take if I was going to launch a Sci Comm platform today.

I had an audience member reach out to me this morning to ask me some advice about creating content for Science Communication (SciComm). I love chatting about SciComm so we had a great discussion. 

Listen to the episode on what my advice was for her. I think it might help you if you are looking to create SciComm content yourself.

Eden Robins and Dr. Craig McClain join me on today's episode to talk about why they started a podcast to make boring science things not so boring with their new podcast.

It's funny, it's witty, it's actually quite informative as it dives into science to make things like lichens and the Kreb's Cycle exciting.

As the past couple of episodes have dealt with the topics of colonialism in Marine Science and Conservation, they got me thinking about how we could begin to be more inclusive. Obviously, inclusion and equity cannot be solved overnight and I am constantly learning about how colonialism and social justice issues are affecting various communities on a daily basis. 

However, as a Science Communicator, I started to think about my podcasts and the other podcasts within the Speak Up For Blue Podcast Network and how we can become more inclusive and diverse in the voices that I heard. I also thought about the lack of diversity in the voices on conservation documentaries. 

If we are going to become more inclusive and better at conservation, we need to hear from a more diverse set of science communicators.

Often times, science communicators are trying to undo the damage caused by a documentary or a certain President that spews utter garbage that is wrong on a specific environmental subject. 

Science communicators need to work at getting ahead of specific subject matters to ensure that the proper information backed by scientific evidence gets out to the public before other people manipulate the science in order to prove their point.

I had a thought about science communication the other day. I noticed that it's always the same people that speak up for conservation. The people who speak up are great, but it's always the same people. I feel as though we need new people to start speaking out. 

Great Thunberg is relatively new to the game and she has done a great job in speaking up for doing something about Climate Change.

In January 2020, I will focus more on helping people to Speak Up For The Ocean Blue. This includes teaching an online course for Duke University on podcasting for environmental science. If you or the organization you are working for are interested, then sign up here: http://www.speakupforblue.com/duke.

We had a slight problem that we never encountered here on the Speak Up For Blue Team: We were asked to take down an episode because our guest's boss was worried that the information that was discussed briefly on an episode was going to affect the future funding from a grantor. 

We didn't agree with the boss, but we didn't want our guests to be put in a more difficult position than they were already in. 

The Speak Up For Blue Team (with 7 podcasts) has communicated a lot of science, but we encounter barriers from time to time. 

In this episode, I give you some ways to overcome those barriers and give reasons why there shouldn't be any barriers at all.

I have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Andrew Thaler on the podcast today to discuss his take on the Evolution of Social Media for Environmental Communications. We talk about his high hopes for Social Media in the past and his "Battleground" outlook for it in 2019. 

Andrew will be teaching a Course on Social Media For Environmental Communications for the 7th year to help Non-profits, NGOs, and government agencies to run effective social media campaigns. You won't learn about Social Media anywhere else but during this course.

Register for the Course TODAY before the price goes up tomorrow:

A researcher named Victoria Herrman does most of her work in the Arctic. She wrote an article in the Guardian regarding her government citations that were disappearing. This is a HUGE issue that many scientists from around the world were hoping wouldn't happen...but here we are.

Ocean Science and Conservation Communication is more important now more than ever as the oceans, and environment in general, are changing at a rapid rate and government are slow to act. Communication allows the right information to get in front of the public so that they can make more informed decisions on how to live for a better Ocean. But how do you get in front of the public in this day and age?

 

Allison Randolph, aka Ocean Allison, specializes in Ocean Science and Conservation Communication (has experience with podcasting, video documentaries and public speaking) and stops by the podcast to tell us how she got involved in the field and how you can communicate science effectively to make a difference.  

Enjoy the podcast!
