This February, I'm inviting our Local Science Engagement Network (LSEN) community to reflect on something simple but powerful:
What do you love most about your local science engagement work?
As Digital Liaison with the AAAS, I've seen how strong community partnerships make science more accessible, relevant, and actionable. Whether it's co-developing programs, translating research into plain language, or building trust across sectors, engagement is sustained by relationships.
If you have a story, photo, short video, or resource that captures your work in action, share it with the LSEN community.
Here's a sample example from Olivia, one of my colleagues and a great illustrator/cartoonist:
Olivia and her work are just one example of using creative multimedia to connect science and community.
This month, let's highlight the partnerships that make science meaningful where it matters most: right at "home" here in our digital platform.
So, tell us: what local science engagement work has your heart?
