This year at the APS Global Physics Summit in Denver, Colorado, where 14000 physicists gather to talk about breakthroughs in science and technology, I had the chance to get to know Karmela Padavic-Callaghan from New Scientist, and they kindly agreed to sit down with Get Known for an interview about their work.
Karmela is a PhD physicist turned science communicator who you will hear started their journey in physics at the age of 12 and never stopped learning about how math can describe the world we live in. As a scientist turned journalist, there has been a path of learning by fire that I think every tech and science person can appreciate when it comes to press communication. And in this world of what seems to be an AI takeover as it pressures traditional media, Karmela provided the critical reminder that humanity is still the thing that wins the day and that we need to use it to our advantage, whether you are trying to approach the press or you are the press.
When you listen to this interview, get traditional. You might want to have a pen and paper handy to jot down notes because Karmela’s insightful experience and advice will help any tech and science person gain the encouragement and confidence needed to make your best outreach and interviews.
