Get to know Bárbara Pinho
What are your short term or long term goals as a science communicator?
Mostly to raise awareness on important topics such as climate change, public health and sustainability. Creating an impact around these areas is my ultimate goal as a science communicator.
What’s the one tip about science writing or communication you wish you’d known starting out?
Everything starts with and ends with your audience.
Morning person or night owl?
I used to be a morning person, but quarantine has changed my perception of time (it’s still March, right?). As much as I’d love to be incredibly productive early in the morning as I used to be, late-night work is my only type of work these days, so night owl it is.
