Event Description:

In this audio live event we'll be talking about science communication, it's importance, how one can get started, it's scope in the upcoming future and why you need to be one, as Naval Ravikant says, "If you can't code, start a blog, create content and write, and do podcasting."

In the end, we'll be diving into astrobiology, what it is and how one can get started in the field and so much more as go along the way.

A script is a bad way to perform a show, but a structure gives it meaning.
