Science writing opportunities (Anaïs Remili)
Dear all, I recently founded a marine mammal science website called Whale Scientists <https://whalescientists.com/> with my colleague, Naomi Mathew. We are two PhD students working on marine mammals. The goal of our website is to 1) share scientific knowledge with the public in a fun and accessible way; 2) provide tips for aspiring marine mammalogists; and 3) share stories of early career marine mammalogists, to inspire the public and aspiring scientists. We are looking for guest writers in our marine mammal science <https://whalescientists.com/whale-science/>page; topics could range from but are not limited to: how whales evolved, explanation of a recent paper, or the latest news on a specific event like the release of two captive belugas. The goal of these posts is to explain a scientific topic in an understandable and enjoyable manner for the general public. We are also looking for guest writers for our "how to <https://whalescientists.com/how-to/>" pages to provide tips for aspiring marine mammalogists. We already have posts on how to find internships, how to find a graduate program, etc. Even though we launched three months ago, we received a lot of positive feedback and over 10 000 visits. We are still growing as we explore new information sharing platforms and post more articles. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide monetary compensation for your contributions, but we do create for each guest writer a specific author page with their posts. You will be able to include your author page to a CV or grant application to show your contributions to scientific communication. Here is an example of an author page here <https://whalescientists.com/author/anaisremili/ >. We prepared writing guidelines to help you with drafting your posts and we are available to help you through the entire publishing process. You can contact us at: whalescientists@gmail.com. Best wishes, __ Anaïs Remili, PhD student, McGill University
