Speak Simply about Your Job

Describing what you do in a way that most people can understand is one of
the most important things a scientist can do to help the public to appreciate
and understand the world around them.

As a chemist, you understand that chemistry is
all around us. As a Chemistry Ambassador, you
see opportunities to talk about chemistry all
around you too.

Chat up chemistry.


No matter where you go or who you’re talking to, you have a chance to improve someone’s understanding of your profession. Whether at a neighborhood barbeque or a cocktail party, or when discussing current events with a non-scientist, there’s bound to be an opportunity to shine a positive light on your profession.

Everyday conversations are great opportunities to shape others’ perceptions of who chemists are and what chemists do. And there’s no better spokesperson for chemistry than you!

How can you speak simply about chemistry?
