Science communication

Before studying frontend development, I used to work as a science journalist. I did that for 13 years. My job was to interview scientist, researchers, and all those folks who spend 80% their adult lives in a laboratory. I had to "translate" their complicated words, theories and experiments into a language that could be understood by basically anyone – including people like my grandmother, who may know a great deal about gardening but not much about, say, remote sensing or exascale computing.

A bit more than a decade, 4 continents, 30 countries, 426 articles, 2 books, a few podcasts, dozens of scientific conferences and hundreds of interviews later, here's the most important lessons that this journey has taught me:

This quote is often attributed to Albert Einstein, although there are no written records proving its authorship. I’ve recently realised that this idea is also valuable in the IT industry!
