The Brownbeak Chronicles: SciComm x Bird Noir

<p><em>~ Note from Producers: Episode audio updated on 28/6/2026 ~</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>&quot;With science, we&#39;re trying to communicate with people, change behaviour, inspire people to think about things differently... Being able to pivot and adapt to what your audience needs is a really important part.&quot; - Sarah Brown</em> </p><p> </p><p>In this episode, Camila sits down with Minor of Science Communication student Sarah Brown to discuss the process behind her &quot;Brownbeak Chronicles&quot; podcast episode. They talk about their mutual love for birds (in classic ageing millennial fashion), music, true crime, and Sarah&#39;s journey in STEM and science communication. Sarah shares how her interest in different artistic expressions - particularly music - has informed her practice of sharing science with different audiences. Stemming from their personal experiences, they discuss how science communication is an interdisciplinary practice in which multiple worldviews are welcome. </p><p> </p><p><em>&quot;Before I started this degree, I had zero STEM background... So I had no idea what to do with science. So I felt like science communication, I could kind of bridge that gap a little bit where I didn&#39;t feel like I was completely floundering.&quot; - Sarah Brown</em> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Episode links:  </strong></p><p> </p><p>See Walyalup’s 2024 AFLW Indigenous jumper <a href="https://www.fremantlefc.com.au/news/1682284/the-meaning-behind-walyalups-2024-aflw-indigenous-jumper" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">here</a></p><p><br></p><p>Listen to Gisela Kaplan&#39;s insights on bird behaviour <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/conversations/gisela-kaplan-native-birds/11665574" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">here</a></p><p><br></p><p>Listen to Geraldine Hickey&#39;s Death by Birding episode <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/6OLlbrvguqSjuyPol0Jvzf?si=b250e6d905a940a1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">here</a></p><p><br></p><p>Read more about inclusive science communication <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10755470251344471" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">here</a></p><p><br></p><p>Check out Sarah&#39;s birding and drawing account <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bronsbirds/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">here</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>This episode was brought to you by:</strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>Episode Host</em>: Camila Pardo Uribe </p><p><em>Special Guest:</em> Sarah Brown </p><p><em>Producers: </em>Camila Pardo Uribe</p><p><em>Audio editor: </em>Camila Pardo Uribe  </p><p><em>Show notes: </em>Camila Pardo Uribe </p><p> </p><p><br></p>
