Sometimes communication isn't that easy.

You don't understand the walls of texts of information, reading the same thing over and over again; what is the point of this sentence? You don't understand all those high vocab words thrown at you; what is a polysaccharide?

These are just some of the difficulties that occur when it comes to communicating science in a school or university setting.

Join us this week as we debate the issues with learning science, improving the way we communicate through learning styles and creativity and storytelling and more, and why it's even important to change up the way we learn.

Keara's way of doing things through the HSC was haphazard; she was a perfectionist that didn't plan, got easily stressed and lost focus easily. If you can relate or are curious or are looking for productive procrastination, join us in her discussion of this jampacked year.
