Science communication

My passion for science communication started during the COVID-19 pandemic era, and I have been engaged in SciComm activities ever since.

I started my SciComm journey by posting some interesting scientific facts from the field of food science on my private instagram account @ironwis, which has quickly gained the audience (rather modest, not intimidating) and also the recognition among other science communicators. As such, my private instagram account turned into a profile focused on science communication (highest activity in 2020-2022). In the meantime, I pursued my passion for sharing knowledge with a creative flair for writing by crafting a few longer blog posts on redoksowo.wordpress.com. All my science communication activity is performed in the Polish language.

2021. I was invited to the uDoktorów podcast, where I discussed the complexity of nutrition research. In this episode, I elaborated on the different types of studies conducted in this field, their aims and limitations, and explained why nutrition science news often lead to informational chaos and confusion among the general audience.

Uwaga! Naukowy Bełkot

In 2021, my outreach efforts on Instagram (and to a lesser extent on my blog) led to a collaboration with dr Dawid Myśliwiec, who is running highly recognized scicomm youtube channels Uwaga! Naukowy Bełkot (UNB) and Wyłącznie Naukowy Bełkot (WNB). As such, I continued writing popular science articles but for a much wider audience of readers of the UNB blog. In 2022 I joined the UNB research team and since then, besides writing scicomm articles, I have been involved in researching and fact-checking the content for the UNB and WNB youtube channels.
