As part of the refresh, I wrote a guide to applying to the AAAS MMF. I learned some do's and don'ts from both my experience reviewing applications and my retrospective on the two times I applied:

My further education experience of teaching in real world classrooms & learning theory is useful for how people learn & think & a massively useful skill for my science writing.
My further edu training, teaching & theory, incl SEND methods, has a direct impact on the structure of my #sciencewriting.
Common sense says things settle. Turns out, space disagrees... loudly and at a high voltage!
Which leads to my new essay: starts with coffee ☕, ends in orbit 🛰️.
What's your field's version of "but I assumed it would balance out"?

A title tile for Dr. Kristen Boyle shows a background photo of a tree, overlayed with the title that reads Less Noise, More Signal, On risk, uncertainty, and the humanity of science. kristenboylephd.com
My new science essay is out: Less Noise, More Signal
A reflection on the parts of science we rarely talk about: the uncertainty, the variability, and why the answers are rarely simple.

Close‑up photo of hands typing on a laptop at a wooden desk. Minimal red geometric overlays frame the image. Text on the graphic reads “DR. KRISTEN BOYLE” at the top right and “I’VE BEEN FAR TO QUIET” in a bottom banner.
I’ve been far too quiet.
I'm finally ready to share something I’ve been working toward for some time. This first essay discusses science, democracy, and what it means to humanize the work we do. 🧪 #ScienceWriting #Democracy

Dr. Nonterah's new book is full of practical, realistic and motivational advice for someone looking to pivot into a non-academic role.
I can't wait to start putting her recommendations to work as I transition from my #PhD into my own #medcomms and #sciencewriting career.
