Science communication, or SciComm, is the practice of sharing information and educating audiences on science-related topics. SciComm is a broad and ever-growing industry. It encompasses a vast range of career paths from audience-facing roles, such as presenting on television, radio, or at festivals, to behind-the-scenes jobs such as writing and editing (see BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES REVIEW, Vol. 33, No. 3, pp. 27–29).

As a presentation coach, Duncan provides support and training to enhance people’s speaking skills and confidence when presenting. He focuses on creating emotionally engaging presentations that will resonate with an audience.
