Mineral Education Organizations and Best Practices in Geo-Communication
Manage episode 360123401 series 3303879
Join us for another episode with Courtney Onstad, a PhD candidate at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. In this episode we discus some of the best practices and methodologies that should be implemented in the geoscience communication space. Courtney also emphasizes the critical importance of early education and making good impressions with kids who may grow up to solve our future energy and mining challenges. We also discuss the role of mineral literacy organizations and their role in engaging with communities about their natural resources to emphasize why we mine and how it can be done sustainably through community involvement and monitoring. Finally, Courtney shares some thoughts about where the academic field of geoscience communication is headed next and the gaps which need to be filled by young professionals and thought leaders in the mineral and mining sphere.
