Welcome to the world of science communication down-under
"Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler"
– Albert Einstein
The Science Communicators Association of New Zealand (SCANZ) is an organisation dedicated to improving the communication of science.
Anyone who is involved in, or who has a special interest in communicating science and who subscribes to the objectives of the organisation is welcome to join. Current members are drawn from a wide range of roles within the science sector and include working journalists, public relations professionals, academics, science festival organisers, museum directors, policy advisers, students, scientists and researchers, and science leaders.
This website is an information hub for science communicators in New Zealand. On it you will find further details about the objectives of SCANZ, events and news of special interest to science communicators, profiles of people involved in the organisation and information on how to join SCANZ. For members only there is a special section with the ability to post resumes and a discussion forum.
