45. From Problems to Possibilities: Dickon Bonvik-Stone on value-based communication and how it helped reframe the degrowth conversation
There's so much research that could genuinely make the world better — healthier communities, smarter policy, a more sustainable planet. And yet, when it comes to getting people to actually listen and act on that research, we often default to explaining harder or criticising current practices. Neither of which tend to work. Dickon Bonvik-Stone joins us to share how the NØKO team found success taking a radically different approach, and how we can use the AIM framework to bring hope to our own research communications.
44. Impact Literacy: A/Prof Julie Bayley on why just expecting impact isn't the same as enabling it
A/Prof Julie Bayley is one of the world's leading voices on research impact, and she's on a mission to make sure that the pathway from academic inquiry to meaningful societal change isn't just left to chance. She joins us to unpack impact literacy — a practical framework and step-by-step workbook that helps researchers find their place in the impact puzzle, and helps institutions build the culture to make it all possible.
43. Career Transitions: Sofia Oliveira on what 140 job applications taught her about life after academia
What if leaving academia isn't failure – but the path to work that actually fulfils you? Sofia Oliveira finished her PhD, spent six months applying for 140 jobs, and discovered a career in science communication that she finds more rewarding than anything she experienced in the lab. She joins us to share the real numbers behind her transition, the mindset shifts that made it possible, and how LinkedIn became her secret weapon for finding opportunities.
42. Gathering with Purpose: Dr Sarah McLusky on making events actually worth showing up for
Be honest: how many meetings, workshops, or conferences have you attended that felt like a waste of your time? Dr Sarah McClusky argues that most academic gatherings fail not because of bad content, but because no one stopped to ask why they were bringing people together in the first place.
