SCICOMM ON TIKTOK
MWF, Feb 7 - 18, 12 - 1 pm ET
TikTok is on your to-do list. Figure it out faster.
​
TikTok could be more than dancing, memes, and generational duels- it could be how you do the scicomm you want to. But learning another whole system is *hard*. Where do you edit TikToks? How can you share other people’s videos? And you cannot get your YouTube vids down to 60 seconds!
​
Welllll… Did you know that you can edit off-platform and upload into TikTok? Did you know that TikTok’s video editor is actually pretty great? Did you know you can post 3-minute videos now and they’re considering 5-minute videos for the future?
​
I know you can get there on your own, but you don’t have that time to burn.
​
Think of me as your shortcut. Let’s work together through:
-
Mon, Feb 7 — Intro to the TikTok landscape
-
Wed, Feb 9 — Importing into TikTok
-
Fri, Feb 11 — Filming within TikTok
-
Mon, Feb 14 — Your TikTok strategy
-
Wed, Feb 16 — Going live on TikTok
-
Fri, Feb 18 — Looking ahead
​
All my workshops are interactive and product-driven. You’ll leave this course with a completed TikTok bio, multiple videos on your account, and an outline of your TikTok strategy. This is an intermediate-level course; we will not cover (for example) the fundamentals of storytelling, basic social media good practice, and videography.
​
This course costs $200 a person. If this is too expensive for you, please contact me. I have so far had a perfect track record of pitching courses like this to institutional sponsors, and I'd love to see if I can bring a more widely accessible course to you.
​
Join me to define and settle into your TikTok space.

I've delivered science communication training at multiple NatureJobs Career Expos and other conferences and for a variety of research-focused organizations. Past training contract clients include the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and the University of Georgia. You can view a sample of my portfolio here and see more of my past clients here.
​
My post-workshop polls show that up to 100% of participants feel ready to act on what they learned and would recommend my training to their colleagues. Specific feedback from participants includes:
-
“… instantly one of the best [professional development sessions] I've ever attended. The interactive part was great and allowed us to have a REAL takeaway that we can use. The presenter was contagiously enthusiastic.” (From a STEM-focused postdoc at the University of Virginia)
-
“…probably the 54 best-spent minutes reflecting on my scicomm ever, and it's just the beginning." (From a scientist and communicator at the University of Bergen, Norway, who then hired me to train students in their program)
