SciComm Excellence

Science shapes the world around us in ways we may not notice. From your morning coffee to GPS navigation, science is woven into our experiences everywhere we look. 2025 #scicomm award winners explore how curiosity can transform ordinary moments into opportunities for discovery.

Sea and space may seem worlds apart, but both invite us to ask the same fundamental questions: Where do we come from? What connects us? And how much is left to discover? From reefs to distant galaxies, #scicomm awardees explore the wonder and sense of connection that drives scientific discovery.
