Creating Science
Communication Products

Is your expertise being sought for project communications? Ask:

• Is the timeline realistic? Ideally communications people should be brought in at the very beginning of a project or proposal, so they can add it to a calendar, if nothing else. Short turnaround times happen, but they make it more likely that the quality of the product will suffer, or that we will be unable to meet the need.

• Are the right people at the table, are they communicated with consistently—particularly for work that focuses on Indigenous issues?

• Which media channels are best for this project?

• Are there funds to cover your time?
