Had such an amazing time at ComSciConCAN this year. It was great to meet and be inspired by the future faces of science communication

Listened to an amazing talk by Dr. Matthews and Aaron at ComSciConCAN about Indigenous storytelling. I now have lots of ideas to reflect upon in both my research and my every day life.
