Social Media & Advocacy Strategist, taste of science Festival
SCIENTISTS INC
We’re looking for a talented human who loves science and wants to make the world a better place by building new connections between people and science!
We are Scientists Inc , a 501(c)3 nonprofit that is 100% volunteer run. We are a rapidly growing science outreach organization with one goal: make science more accessible to everyone . And we mean, E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E. Inclusivity is the drumbeat of our little science-y hearts, so if you can’t proudly say " Black Lives Matter " or "Stop Asian Hate" or "I’m a feminist" or "Transwomen are women," this isn’t the role for you.
taste of science ( tasteofscience.org ) is our annual science festival that allows members of the community to get to know their friendly neighborhood scientist - and learn from that scientist in-person at a local pub or restaurant. We have chapters coast to coast who coordinate local events - creating national reach with community roots.

You’ll report on progress quarterly.

Every year, our festival runs simultaneously in multiple cities across the US. In 2019 we reached 16 city chapters lead by volunteers, featuring scientists, researchers, engineers and artists from their local institutions.
We also record the 2Scientists podcast sharing the stories of scientists and their experiences in research to humanize the people who do the work.
We are 100% volunteer run. A group of diverse individuals brought together through our love for science, so we dedicate our time to share research and the scientific process with our communities.
