Science communication is a tool for empowerment | Renae Sayers | TEDxPerth

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Science communicators craft "a-ha!" moments for their audience, connecting meaning, relevance and importance with the purpose of the message.

When these a-ha or light bulb moments land, you have an amazing ability to see the world - and often yourself – differently.

Renee Sayers talks about how this spark can enhance an individual’s skills, knowledge and attitudes, catalysing the ultimate goal: increasing scientific literacy to make a better world.

It’s not just through wide-reaching and over-arching reasons like contributing to our social, economic and innovative future; or shaping minds that can observe, problem-solve and ask questions. But through letting that spark provide insight to our core. Awakening who we are and what we can do.

Sayers encourages you to embrace curiosity, delight in the whys and get lost in the wonder of our world. It could very well be the way you find yourself.

Renae Sayers is an international science communicator whose mission is to share the science joy, making the world a better place one light-bulb moment at a time. She has dedicated her life to empowering people with the enlightenment and wonder that scientific literacy can provide.

From her time at Scitech, the Edinburgh International Science Festival and Questacon - The National Science and Technology Centre, she has collaborated and performed with communities in Japan, Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Singapore, and across Australia to achieve this goal.

She develops inspiring and engaging science shows, programs, panels and projects that connect the audience with specific (and general) science themes, skills and understanding.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
