Welcome to the Midwest Association of Interdisciplinary Science Expositors, aka "MAISE." Beginning during the 2024 National Association of Science Writers Conference, this community was built to support science communicators and advance science communication in the Midwestern United States.
Our group is over 70 strong and is currently meeting virtually bimonthly and connecting over email, Slack, and LinkedIn.
Are you a science communicator doing really cool work but still feel hidden behind rows of corn and soybeans? You've come to the right place.
Join our team over:
Email: Reach out to maise.scicomm@gmail.com to join
Slack group invite available upon joining!
On June 12th, we heard from the Open Notebook's Siri Carpenter!
On August 6th, join us for our first Kaffeeklatsch - bring tea or coffee and come hang out to chat with other Midwest Science communicators
