We help find and create opportunities for Science Communicators and explore avenues to construct, collaborate, and contribute to expanding our community.

What’s up at SciRio?

Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, once said, ”…you can’t connect the dots looking forwards, you can only connect them looking backwards”.

We took the literal meaning of it. Therefore, we are bringing our flagship workshop, SciComm Lite, to target novice science communicators looking to deepen their understanding of the field of science communication.

Now, it’s more likely that you’ll gravitate towards science writing or art.

Trust us when we say there’s a good possibility that you will change your mind.

Let us tell you a story…

Ruchi and Shweata met at our SciComm Lite (February 2021) workshop, where they first conceived the idea for their science podcast project.

They tested the waters by pitching it as an assignment to Abhishek Chari from IndSciComm, one of the mentors of the workshop.

With the support of the IndiaBioscience Outreach Grant and the SciComm community, they have now turned the idea into a full-blown podcast series, India Asks Why, which is a total success.

Isn’t it amazing??? 

Thank you for your continued support.

Let us help you get started in SciComm!

Let’s create something brilliant together!​
