Greetings, Earthlings…
Well, well, it’s been a long
while since I did anything on this little blog, except that I purged some older
messed-up articles so it can get a chance for a re-life.
So, what’s the deal?
Well (I know I used “well” too
much already), I have a few words to tell you about the need of useful skills
you can exploit to deliver messages to the world, to communicate with people of
all shapes and sizes, especially if you are a sicentist and simply wanted to pass on the knowledge.
Nowadays, the world and social
life have been under the reign of Internet and various social medias, and I do
believe that in time, things like printed medias and books will eventually
become obsolete and that humanity must rely on online platforms. So, you have
scientific knowledges to pass on, you have absolute access online to share it,
but you don’t have the guts to tell them? Heck, that will likely not end up
well.
However, I did encounter a chance
for myself and perhaps anyone who’re interested to learn more about those
necessary skills. Simply put, I went to Bandung
Institute of Technology to learn Biology,
but in my study program, I stumbled upon a particular mandatory class that is Teknik
Komunikasi Ilmiah, or Scientific
Communications Techniques. At first, I had no idea why would a biologist
need to learn how to communicate,
but then on the first day, right on Monday this week, that is 27th
August, that I finally gained ideas of its importance.
First of all, the aim of the
class is for students to practice communicating ideas, scientific ideas, to others and especially the public. My
classmates and I were exposed on various basic things such as failing factors
of being a more public speakers and the surface of how one can handle and
overcome them. The class also has an unusual examination, that is you must
write scientific articles and send it to a printed mass-media company, and
if the article is published, the student automatically gains a perfect score on
the report! It’s kinda strange still, but it is interesting indeed.
Surely, I am wishing that I can
refine my abilities to pass on scientific knowledges to the others for the sake
of a better future, through learning how to arrange words into meaningful and
deep articles yet easily understood by others in quick successions. Even though
I haven’t even been on the second class (it’s tomorrow!), I can already see
bits of what will be coming later and as a scientist of early stages who was a
total antisocial bloke living on a mountain on the Special Region of
Yogyakarta, I do am looking forward to improve who I am now.
That is all for today, I think,
hopefully there will be more to come.
