Quality science communication skills are vital for young scientists and established researchers alike. Why is that? For one, during a worldwide pandemic, climate catastrophes and so many other scientific challenges in our midst, it has become very clear that combatting scientific misinformation and disinformation is a top priority. One key way to overcome this challenge is through good science communication skills. It is very important that science is explained in a way that anybody, from any audience and background can understand it whether it be a student, a non-scientist or an established researcher in a different field. If developed early on, students will get better at translating their research and discoveries and recognizing the importance of these skills, which will hopefully be carried into their future careers as researchers.
