“Learning and practising science communication is core to so much” - Lotte George

Welcome back to Summer Shorts, an exploration of podcasting by UWA science communication students. In this episode, The SciComm Collective’s Kate is joined by UWA Biomedical Sciences graduate Lotte George. Lotte shares how stumbling upon the UWA Tropical Grove during a study break inspired her to make a Shinrin-yoku (“forest bathing”) meditation podcast, and how her Science Presentations unit of study has benefited her even beyond the scientific landscape.
