I liked your comment about explaining CRISPR using beer cans. I had a similar experience explaining an ADC + Linker supply chain to a friend over beers at a pub, using salt and pepper shakers and condiment bottles as visual aids to represent different segments in a supply chain. When you're an expert in an area, it helps to be able to break it down and make it relatable to those that might not be experts. Many people are visual and it helps when you can make an analogy with something like salt shakers...or beer cans.
Thanks Adria! Great point about outreach, I absolutely agree. Gave a talk to some high schoolers earlier this summer but honestly wish I had done more of that type of thing.
I loved this Evan! Great advice for young researchers and I think it's easy to get swept up in the crystal palace in any STEM field. As scientists, tt's so important to connect and engage with the public.

Love to see it! Will have to go for the salt shakers next time.
very nicely put together! thanks!
Doing outreach is also a great occasion to inspire others (students) that might not even know that the chance of doing research in that topic exists

This was very socially minded and refreshing. Thanks.
Thanks Austin!

Thanks Adele! Absolutely agree.
I recently published my first paper, and this advice is so accurate! 👌
Congrats! And great to hear; thanks for reading.
